What You Will Learn in Our Course

Our first aid classes focus on doing, not watching. Every attendee practises each skill until they are comfortable and capable. Here is what your team will learn:

  • CPR & rescue breathing: Correct compression depth, rate, and ventilation technique for adults, children, and infants.

  • Unconscious casualty management: Assess and reposition the airway, monitor closely in a recovered position until the first aid team arrives.

  • Choking treatments: Back strikes, abdominal thrusts, and call for emergency services when there doesn’t seem to be an improvement in the situation of the victim.

  • Bleeding & wound treatment: Stop the bleeding with an emergency pressure bandage, cleanse the wound and minimise further contamination by preventing infection.

  • Support of fractured bone, sprain & strain injuries: Ensure that the injured area is stabilised safely and provide some comfort measures to relieve the pain.

  • Recognition of medical emergencies: Heart attacks, strokes, seizures, asthma attacks; you will learn how to identify the early signs and the proper steps to respond quickly.

All training follows current UK Resuscitation Council guidelines. Your certificate is HSE‑compliant and widely recognised across all sectors.
