🔰 I’m a complete beginner. Which course should I start with?
For beginners, we recommend our Emergency First Aid at Work course. This one-day program covers essential skills like:
• Assessing emergency situations
• Performing CPR
• Treating common injuries
It’s an excellent foundation for anyone new to first aid.
⚠️ I work in a high-risk environment. Is there a more comprehensive course available?
Absolutely. Our First Aid at Work Level 3 course is ideal for those in higher-risk workplaces or those seeking more in-depth knowledge. This three-day course covers a broader range of topics and scenarios, preparing you for more complex emergencies.
👩⚕️ I’m a healthcare professional. Do you offer specialized courses?
Yes, we do. For healthcare professionals, we offer advanced courses that build on your existing knowledge. These courses focus on the latest techniques and protocols, ensuring your skills remain current and aligned with industry standards.
📝 How do I know if my current certification needs updating?
Most first aid certifications are valid for three years. However, it’s best to check the expiry date on your certificate. If you’re approaching the end of this period or if it’s been a while since you’ve practiced your skills, it’s time to consider a refresher course.
🧠 Are there courses specifically for mental health first aid?
Indeed, mental health first aid is increasingly recognized as crucial. We offer specialized courses that focus on:
• Recognizing signs of mental health issues
• Providing initial support
These courses complement traditional first aid training, giving you a well-rounded skill set.

We also offer blended learning options that combine online modules with in-person practical sessions.
