About the course

Do you want to become a qualified first aider? Or are you an owner or manager in an organisation that wants to improve the first aid training of employees? This intensive course is appropriate for those who have to administer first aid in the workplace. People at work can suffer injuries or fall ill. You will need to make sure they receive immediate attention and that, in serious cases, qualified help is summoned. Through a mixture of background theory and hands-on practice you will learn what you need to do to save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones. Please note – some courses take place on consecutive days; however we are aware that some employers find it difficult to release employees for three days in one week. Therefore, for your convenience, this course can run over a three week period – please contact us for exact course dates and to discuss your requirements.
