Course Overview:

This 3-day course will provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to enable you to deal with many common workplace incidents and the treatment of illnesses and injuries.

    What people have said about this course:

    Great First Aid at Work training by Iain. My colleagues and I spent 3 days at the centre, based at the Underfall Yard in Bristol. Iain was extremely friendly, patient and detailed with his training which is all scenario based. We had a good time and all left feeling more confident to administer first aid.

    An excellent course. Enjoyable, informative and motivating and I feel more confident. The instructor was very good especially in terms of getting the hierarchy right, getting me to think of what was most important in a first aid situation, then what was next most important etc.
