Questions about Epilepsy Awareness training

How long is the Epilepsy Awareness course?

It's made up of 6 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational tests. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

What is status epilepticus?

A seizure that lasts too long, or seizures that follow one another without recovery in between. It is a medical emergency, so call 999. The second microlesson explains what to look for.

What should I write down after a seizure?

What the person was doing beforehand, how the seizure started, what it looked like, how long it lasted and how they were afterwards. Clear witness notes help with diagnosis and care planning.

How often should staff take epilepsy training?

Train people when they start supporting someone with epilepsy and refresh it regularly. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months.

Can I try the Epilepsy Awareness course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
