There is no nationally agreed standard for the training of community first responders. Some ambulance services choose to use the IHCD First Person on Scene (FPOS) qualification at either basic, intermediate or enhanced levels, however some ambulance services choose to deliver their own syllabus. In most cases, the training takes place over several evenings and/or weekends and involves assessment by a trained paramedic. There may be a period of supervision for new responders including ambulance observation shifts
