“Excellent Emergency First Aid at Work course.”
As someone who struggles with traditional learning methods, I felt the delivery was very inclusive and I felt very comfortable asking questions to support my understanding. Mary was engaging and knowledgeable. Overall, a thoroughly well spent day. Thank you. Kirsty Walkington
Course description
Who should attend?
This course is designed for people who want to receive training in emergency first aid. Especially suited for nominated first aiders in smaller, lower risk working environments like small offices and workspaces. This course covers first aid protocols for adults only. Childcare practitioners and workers would require one of our Paediatric First Aid courses.
Candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2). While we are often able to provide support to people who do not have English as a first language, our ability to do so is limited by the time available and the number of people who require assistance. We may be able to make special arrangements if requested in advance. Please contact us if you need any guidance.
