We also supply first aid courses for gyms and clubs. See below.

All first aid courses have an emhasis on the injuries encountered through martial arts and combat sports training and competition.

Courses can be held over one or two days. The medic team will visit your venue to hold the course.

Attendees have the option of doing a full HSE Appointed person at work certificate and have it registered. This can be used on CVs and in the work place to increase employability.

The courses can be mixed so some attendees doing a standard first aid version and others doing an HSE certified version, as the course is the same. The only difference is at the end of the course. Then, as First Aider at Work, you have your certificate official recognised by being registered.  There is a small administrative charge for the registration.

EMERGENCY FIRST AID: APPOINTED PERSON

This course is suitable for anyone in a position that requires them to take charge of an incident where first aid assistance is needed.

These include designated employees for first aid assistance, coaches and instructors, health and safety officers for martial arts groups, charity youth workers and many, many more.

Each participant receives a colourful training manual that they can refer to after the course as well as training aids for the retention of the core skills learned.

They also receive a certificate to say they are Emergency First Aid Trained which can be added to their personal resume.

It is Good Practice for all groups – whether amateur or professional – to have an appointed person for first aid. Not having a qualified first aider can open individuals and groups open to legal action in the event of an accident during classes.

The fact your organisation has an Appointed First Aid Person can be included in your organisation’s literature and publicity materials.

The course lasts between five and six hours with breaks.

Participants learn the principles of first aid, how to manage incidents effectively; how to treat unconscious people; when and how to resuscitate, what to do with some one choking; how to stop bleeding wounds and how to treat burns, and how to do assist a casualty with broken bones and fractures.
