When are courses run? Please see the timetable (schedule of courses). Also we can run courses at times to suit you, be it evenings, weekends or even public holidays (may cost more!).

Is there quality control? And who are the trainers? Our training is intended to be both informative and, whenever possible, fun, but the learning outcome is the priority. All our trainers undergo regular updates and are delivering the latest first aid protocols as laid down by the European Resuscitation Council. The trainers are not only qualified in their fields and qualified to train but normally have hands on regular experience. They are usually local to your area. Some courses are moderated by the HSE,  CIEH or HABC and others are subject to internal Q.A.

How many first aiders do you need? There is no definitive answer. It will largely depend on your own risk assessment, depending on the nature of the work carried out and the number of employees. It should indicate the number of emergency first aiders or first aiders required in your own workplace. (See the free leaflet “Basic advice on first aid at work”, obtainable from the HSE or on its' website http://www.hse.gov.uk/first-aid )

Does my employee need to do any training to be a first aider? Yes - If you have identified that your work place needs first aiders, they must have appropriate training. AND No - even though we would rather sell you some training we do have the integrity to let you know if you do not need it - as your business expands we hope you will remember this when you do need further training.
