By asking you to work on small research projects and your own work placement, you will apply your technical knowledge to realistic work situations.

This intensive course is appropriate for those who have to administer first aid in the workplace. People at work can suffer injuries or fall ill.

Through a mixture of background theory and hands on practice you will learn the arrangements you need to do to save lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones.

Please Note - some courses are run on consecutive days. However we are aware that some employers find it difficult to release employees for three days in one week, so for your convenience certain courses are run over a three week period.
