The Emergency First Aid training course qualifies the participant as an "appointed person" in the workplace. Having an "appointed person" is a minimum requirement of Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

The course is run over one day and includes both theory and practical sessions, in a relaxed atmosphere, designed to boost a candidate's confidence when dealing with emergency situations.

Certification is dependent on successful continuous assessment of the student. An "appointed person" attendance certificate is awarded to candidates on successful completion of the course. This is valid for a period of three years after which time further training should be undertaken. We strongly recommend and encourage all first aid trained staff to attend a half-day update every twelve months.

We work with our clients to meet their individual requirements and specifications. We offer tailor made courses for companies and organisations. These are normally conducted on the client's premises or at another convenient location. This approach enables a company to effectively update its employees’ skills with the minimum of disruption to the organisation.
