This means we can offer regulated Qualifications in these courses. All of our courses are aimed to help employers to comply with the Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations.

Studies have shown that effective first aid can be vital in the first few minutes after an emergency. There are plenty of success stories in the media about this training saving lives as it’s such an important life skill. A first aid qualification can help your resume, CV, or even open up job opportunities. There may also be opportunities to volunteer using your first aid skills. It has been a vital life skill that people have used for members of their own family not just in the workplace. The 3 main goals are to preserve life, prevent worsening and promote recovery. You never know when the need will arise to put these skills to use. The First Aid Training experience. A First Aid training course should be an interactive fun learning experience, not all chalk and talk.

Our trainers are sympathetic to the needs of the individual trainee and adept at getting the best possible standard from the delegates. First Aid At Work Regulations: In the event of injury or sudden illness, failure to provide first aid could result in a casualty’s death.
