"I had failed OET twice before finding WispGold. Sarah broke down every letter task in a way I finally understood, and the speaking clinics gave me the confidence to answer a real patient without freezing. Passed with a B in every sub-skill on my next sitting."
BLS (Basic Life Support) Preparation Course
Structured online preparation for BLS assessment, built around the published blueprint.

Course overview
BLS assessment is the assessment that opens the door to basic resuscitation and AED use practice, and preparing for it while working full clinical hours is the real challenge. This WispGold programme is built around the published BLS assessment format — a practical CPR and AED demonstration — so nothing in your revision is guesswork. You start with a diagnostic review that shows exactly where your knowledge sits against the blueprint, then work through structured modules that move from core principles to the applied judgement the examiners reward. Every topic is taught by clinicians who have sat the same assessment, so the teaching stays practical: what a question is really testing, how marks are awarded, and which shortcuts cost candidates points. Weekly question sets, timed mocks under exam conditions and written feedback keep your progress measurable rather than hopeful. Because our cohorts are international, sessions are recorded and scheduled in rotating slots, and you keep access for twelve months from enrolment. WispGold is an independent education provider; our training is aligned with the Resuscitation Council UK blueprint and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Resuscitation Council UK. You register for the assessment directly with them.
