First Aid
Home Up

 

Our courses are recognised by the HSE, and are specifically adapted to provide first aid training for an outdoor and off-site situation.  These courses are fun, interactive, follow a modular approach that can be extended if necessary, and give you the opportunity to obtain the certificate you require for your individual or school's needs.

Although the minimum requirement for the Walking Group Leader, SPA and Mountain Leader awards is the "Emergency" two day training course the full four-day First Aid at Work course is recommended.
