In addition to our 16Hr First Aid in the Outdoors Courses, we have commissioned a shorter 6 Hour course aimed at those people who need first aid training but are rarely going to get involved with outdoor activity or in areas remote from emergency callout. The course fee is £45 and includes A4 and credit card sized certificates for those sucessfully passing the course.
The course is non-residential and takes place over two Wednesday evenings (27th March and 3rd April).
Some of the course may be undertaken outdoors in "real" circumstances so you need to dress appropriately and be prepared to be rolling around on the floor outdoors no matter what the weather.
We are strictly limited to 12 places so please contact us as soon as possible if you want to book a place.
1 written paper, a pass rate of 70% is required. Assuming a pass each learner will receive A4 certificates (Emergency 1st Aid at Work and 1 learner unit) and a credit card sized Activity certificate.
