Care and First Aid
At City College Plymouth our care, counselling and first aid courses help support and develop the skills and understanding required by those working within the health and care professions. Courses and training provide workers with the skills and knowledge in order to work effectively and with confidence.
Delivered by tutors who have a wealth of workplace experience, as well as industry recognised qualifications, you can be sure that the training you receive is of the very highest standard.
Courses are regularly updated to reflect the changing needs of the health and care sector and lead to qualifications that are nationally recognised and valued by employers. Many of our courses are accessible and flexible for full-time workers, and many can be tailored to a specific subject area, or to an organisation.
