Who is the course for?
The course can be tailored to the client's specific requirements and type of equipment they have. If this equipment is to be purchased you may want to source it through the Kawns shop.
Our training course should be attended by anyone who may be required to carry out emergency first aid for epileptic seizures. This requirement will be found following proper risk assessment of the workplace. Whilst this is primarily a workplace based course anyone who has a need to learn the skills to save life can attend. There are no pre-course requirements.
