This First Aid course is ideal for groups wanting a basic First Aid course without the formality of a full First Aid at Work course. We can tailor some content to your needs.

This course is suitable for teachers of alternative therapies such as Yoga, Pilates and other similar activities where the Basic Life Support is needed but also some specific First Aid for your speciality.

It is suitable for workers that need a basic First Aid qualification as part of their specific qualification but do check that it meets your NGO minimum standards.

It is Not an (Emergency) First Aid at Work Course. If you need a First Aid in the Workplace qualification, look at our Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work courses.

All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to the same standards where possible as First Aid at Work topics. The course contents fully meets the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2015 where relevant.
