First Aid at Work Annual Refresher Training – FA04

Why do our customers choose us?

We take pride in regularly updating our course programmes and presentations. We implement changes in first aid practice of training sooner than most organisations are able to.  Having taught, and been involved in the giving of, first aid for many years we’ve seen at first hand how regular updating improves skills and maintains confidence in the practical application of first aid whenever required.

Our courses are delivered by knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainers all of whom hold adult teaching qualifications supported by professional qualifications.

They have gained their hands-on first aid experience from a variety of different backgrounds over many years including nursing, armed forces, emergency services, hospitality, Voluntary Aid Societies, as well as other industry sectors before becoming qualified instructors.
