Yes, all of our trainers are DBS checked and certificates are verified on a regular basis.

Do your courses meet First Aid at Work requirements?

Our scheduled Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) 1 day courses are accredited and regulated practical courses that meet the First Aider requirements of all workplaces with less than 50 employees with low to medium risk and for larger and higher risk businesses to support other First Aiders. because of the additional areas we include within our training our courses offer a far better training for sports professionals and anyone else needing a first aider who is able to assist with someone having a heart attack, head injury or asthma attack.
We also offer the full First Aid at Work (FAW) 3-day and 2 day refresher courses for groups.
