Emergency First Aid

Emergency First Aid

For Appointed Persons

One Day course (6 Hours)

A Health & Safety Executive recommended, one day non-assessed course. This is the minimum level of First Aid training for the workplace, appropriate for low-risk environments or for those acting in the absence of a fully qualified First Aider. The course is designed to give a good basic insight into First Aid procedures and skills.

Throughout the course delegates will take part in practical exercises helping them learn basic life support skills and gaining the confidence to deal with an emergency at work or at home.

The course content can be adapted to suit the needs of your organisation. This course can be run in house for up to 12 delegates or individuals can attend one of our training venues.
