⏳ How long do the courses typically last?
Course duration varies depending on the level and complexity. Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is a one-day program, while the more comprehensive First Aid at Work Level 3 spans three days. We design our courses to be time-efficient without compromising on quality.

Advanced courses delve into more complex scenarios and treatments. The goal is to equip you with practical skills you can confidently apply in real-life situations.
❓ Do I need any prior experience or qualifications?
For most of our basic courses for First Aid, no prior experience is necessary. We welcome learners of all backgrounds. For advanced or specialized courses, there may be prerequisites, which will be clearly stated in the course description.
👐 How much practical training is involved?
Hands-on practice is a crucial component of our courses. While there is some theory to cover, a significant portion of the training involves practical exercises, scenario-based learning, and skills practice. This approach ensures you’re not just learning about first aid, but developing the confidence to apply it.

🎓 Are the certifications recognized?
Yes, our courses are accredited by reputable organizations such as ROSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). This ensures your certification is widely recognized. However, it’s always best to check with your employer or relevant industry body for specific requirements.
🔄 How often do I need to renew my certification?
Most first aid certifications are valid for three years. However, we recommend taking refresher courses more frequently to keep your skills sharp and stay updated on the latest techniques.
👚 What should I wear to the course?
Comfortable clothing that allows for movement is best, as you’ll be practicing techniques like CPR and recovery positions. Avoid restrictive clothing or high heels.
📝 Is there an exam at the end of the course?
Assessment methods vary by course but typically include a combination of continuous assessment throughout the course and a final written or practical exam. Don’t worry – our instructors will ensure you’re well-prepared.
