More about first aid & medical training

These online courses are designed as awareness and refresher training - they sit alongside, not instead of, the hands-on Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW) qualifications required by the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Topics include emergency response, CPR and defibrillator awareness, paediatric first aid for early years settings, mental health first aid, epilepsy awareness and safe medication handling. Each course is CPD certified with a downloadable certificate.

I had a really lovely experience with my now tutor, Laura Campbell. Laura was really helpful all the way through the process of signing up to do the Diploma in Dog Grooming, she made sure I was aware of all of the terms and conditions whilst keeping everything really friendly and genuine. I really look forward to starting the course.
