First Aid

Introduction

First aid saves lives and knowing what to do in an emergency can make all the difference. First aid is a simple skill, but it has an incredible impact. 

This first aid course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn first aid: covering all the major first aid topics and including basic everyday skills to coping with emergencies.

In this course, we cover all the major topics for adult first aid, and child and infant first aid. We also look at life saving first aid techniques, like the primary survey for assessing casualties, and look at the role of a first aider.

PLEASE NOTE: This course does not replace the need for all First Aiders to be trained and assessed through face to face classroom training.  The online course can act as a refresher for those that are already qualified as a First Aider but are not yet due to undertake their classroom annual refresher or re-qualification training.
