The course consists of 6 hours of instructor led tuition with the emphasis on practical application of first aid skills. This is a practical course which is interactive and fun. A fully accredited OFQUAL certificate and course book can be issued by the tutor on the day of the course if required. The fee of £25 is payable directly to the tutor.

About the course: This Emergency First Aid course is for anyone who wants to learn how to help in an emergency. In a small, friendly group, you’ll learn simple, life-saving skills. The course is hands-on, easy to follow, and gives you the confidence to stay calm and take action when needed.

Who is this course for: This course, funded by UK government is for Hampshire Residents aged 19+ who have little or no first aid knowledge. The course is designed to give the learner skills to be able to respond to everyday first aid emergencies, confidently and effectively. It is a practical course, so floor work for CPR/Recovery position is needed.

Previous knowledge or experience: This practical based course is suitable for both complete novices as well as those wishing to refresh their skills.

How will I learn: Tutor demonstration, individual and whole group practical activities.

How will I be assessed: Tutor observation.

Next steps: Paediatric First Aid courses.
