How We Train:
We believe that first aid training should be practical and hands on whenever possible to ensure attendees have the opportunity to practice newly acquired skills. We tailor the training to your environment and attendees are free to ask questions relevant to their setting. The assessments are kept as low key and stress free as possible. We don’t put you out in front of everyone to demonstrate your first aid skills!
Our trainers are highly experienced (25+ years) in both training and in the practical application of first aid in real world settings. We go above and beyond the standard training and CPD requirements with all our trainers to ensure our candidates get the best quality and most up to date training possible. They live and work in rural areas and have industry specific experience. This gives us an excellent insight into the types of workplaces covered by this course and ensures that our training is relevant, applicable and most importantly it actually works in your environment.
