Group First Aid

The Sports First Aid course is tailored for players, parents, teachers, coaches, and first aiders responsible for athlete care. It focuses on providing immediate care and managing injuries in a sports environment, ensuring that athletes receive timely assistance during critical situations. It’s an excellent team-building or coach-development activity.

The Pharmacist CPR course is designed explicitly for pharmacists who need to refresh their CPR skills every three years, as the Pharmacy Council’s first aid policy requires. It will cover all the necessary skills to manage a life-threatening emergency.

This 4-hour advanced resuscitation (ACLS) course is ideal for healthcare professionals and non-clinical staff. The course covers basic principles of managing cardiac arrest and is CORE Immediate Adult equivalent (previously known as level 4 resuscitation course or CPR level 4/5).

The Vaccinator CPR course is designed explicitly for authorised and pharmacist vaccinators and will cover all required topics and the necessary skills to manage a life-threatening emergency.

This basic course is great for anyone needing fundamental First Aid knowledge and skills and those not requiring workplace compliant first aid training. It is also a perfect first aid course for community groups, clubs, or churches.

The School First Aid course applies explicitly to teachers, school support staff, and caregivers. It focuses on providing emergency first aid to children under 18 within the school environment or care setting. It is a great team bonding exercise or a teachers-only day activity.

First aid certificates must be renewed every two years. This first aid refresher (revalidation) course brings your knowledge and first aid skills back up to speed. Your first aid certificate must be current or within 3 months of its expiry date to be eligible for renewal.

This course is an 8-hour essential first aid ‘core programme’ for workplace first aid. Work Safe, or first aid level 1, is perfect for most low and medium-risk workplaces and will prepare your team to respond to common emergencies.

This course is a 12-hour comprehensive first aid programme, also known as First Aid Level 2.  Extended first aid is ideal for moderate to high-risk workplaces and will cover all relevant topics and equip your team with required first aid skills.

If you need private first aid training, we can set up a suitable in-house group first aid course at your workplace or another convenient location. We also offer the most competitive rates in the industry when comparing courses with other accredited training providers.
