Who should attend?

The course is designed for nominated First Aiders in low risk working environments such as small offices, where companies wish to provide extra cover to fully first aid trained staff or anyone wishing to obtain lifesaving skills for use in an emergency.

Delegates need a basic command of English. For course bookings where people do not have English as a first language, the company/individual booking can provide a translator at no cost. The translator will not count as a delegate unless they are also booked on the course.

Delegates need to be able to undertake practical procedures in emergency situations.
