First Aid Training
How to get on a first aid training?
This could be most important course you’ve ever taken. In the event of an emergency, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to deliver potentially life-saving assistance. First Aid Courses are invaluable. Although many undertake training as part of a workplace requirement, these skills are invaluable in everyday situations and the course welcomes all individuals.
There’s plenty of reasons to learn first aid but information online about the course and what can be expected is often hard to come by. As such, we’ve put together this helpful guide with everything you need to know before taking your first aid accreditation.
What Does The Course Involve?
For the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work Course, attendees are taught a mixture of both practical and theory. You’ll learn how to examine a casualty, use a defibrillator, familiarise yourself with basic life support and learn how to control bleeding and trauma. These provide the skills to overcome a potentially threatening situation long enough for medically trained individuals to arrive on scene.
The standard 1-day course won’t involve a final exam or assessment. Instead, students are assessed throughout the day by a trained tutor. Given all the demonstrations have been carried out successfully, students will be awarded with a certification valid for three years.
Part 1 involves completing our interactive e-learning module and can be done any time before you attend the face to face training. You will be sent a link to the e-learning module when you book this course.
Part 2 is a one day face to face course where you will learn and demonstrate all the practical sections of the course.
