Is online or face to face life support training better for care staff?

[baneilwick]

I am leading a care team and we are in need of a life support refresher course for the year. I have been looking into basic life support training Bristol , but I am not sure whether to opt for the online course or a practical one. Some of my colleagues argue that the hands-on approach with a dummy and the defibrillator is much more helpful than the online course. While others like the convenience of the online approach. Out of those who have done both, which was better and why?
