“In general terms, blended learning combines online delivery of educational content with the best features of classroom interaction and live instruction to personalize learning, allow thoughtful reflection, and differentiate instruction from student to student across a diverse group of learners.” 1
Blended learning should not be confused with “online only” courses. These
courses do not include any hands-on skill assessment by a qualified instructor. A student reads material online, pays a fee, and receives a certification card. HSI, ASHI, and MEDIC First Aid do not endorse or offer online-only certification courses. Instead, we agree with the Occupational Safety & Health Institute Letter of Interpretation, where they find that “online training alone would not meet the requirements of [OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.151, 1910.146, 1910.266, 1910.269, 1910.410, and 1926.950].”2
We understand your schedule/time is dynamic and sometimes limited. That’s why we have given you the option to select your own scheduling for the practical assessment.
