Overview

What this course covers

First aid is the immediate help given to someone who is injured or suddenly unwell before professional care arrives, and knowing the right priorities matters at every stage. This programme covers the sequence for assessing a casualty and calling for help, alongside practical guidance for common injuries and medical emergencies.

Learners also cover how to protect themselves while providing first aid and how to apply this knowledge to realistic scenarios. It gives any employee a solid grounding in workplace first aid and works well as an ongoing reference.

Great all in all service

I had a great experience with Learn Direct and received a really personal and professional service. Holly was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to answer all my questions clearly and thoroughly, making sure I understood everything before moving forward. She explained what to expect throughout the course, including a clear breakdown of the payment options, which made everything much easier to understand and gave me confidence in making my decision. It was lovely to speak to someone so helpful, patient and knowledgeable who genuinely took the time to make sure I had all the information I needed. Thank you, Holly, for making the whole process so straightforward and positive!
