Who is it for?

This course is suitable for people aged 16+ who work in low hazard environments, for example an office or shop. 

It is also suitable for organisations whose risk assessment identifies the need for somebody trained in emergency first aid.

If your risk assessment identifies a need for additional first aid training, we recommend the three day first aid at work course, which teaches the skills to recognise and treat a wider range of injuries and medical conditions.

Time

09:00-17:00
