Expedition First aid 16hrs-

This course is designed for those who work outdoors; the course usually runs over a residential 2 days.
Our courses are run in the Peak District, to allow us to make full use of the natural surroundings in which we use a team of 3-4 casualties to create realistic scenarios. Caving, Climbing and Canoeing accidents have all been explored by our clients on these courses. The course always involves a night exercise, in order to test your new found skills to the limit.

First aid for Scout and Guide Leaders-

This course is a one-day course that was designed for a group of scouting staff; all the scenes were set at low-level around a campsite style setting. Incidents represented real life accidents, as you would be likely to encounter in this environment.
A child and baby element was added, to fully cover the needs the clients.

Child and Infant 8hr-

It was felt that the 12 hour course was far too long for some and repeated a lot of the skills learnt on other courses . Therefore, in collaboration with nursery staff, we developed a shorter course. The content of this course was originally developed in association with the National Childminders Association (NCMA) and Pre-school Learning Alliance. (PLA)
The syllabus is the same, except for the areas pertaining to Adult or are covered in the rest of the Principles of Child Care course. The original timing of 12 hours was also be further reduced as the new resuscitation techniques as brought in by the European Resuscitation Council (November 28th 2005) have dramatically cut the training time required. The trainers always ensure that the needs of all the candidates are catered for.
Course members may come from group settings or work in a domestic setting, caring for children in varying age groups, from 0-6 years.

‘I just want to play’-

We got a phone call from a Health and Safety manager, who felt his first aid staff, were under-confident in their skills, We went into the workplace with a couple of our casualties and set incidents up throughout the day, the first aid staff really enjoyed the practice and also learnt to develop their casualty skills. We left 6 members of staff feeling confident and refreshed in their ability to deliver first aid.
If you would like your First aiders to just get some hands-on practice, we can bring some casualties to your workplace. This is also an excellent way to update, prior to certificate renewal.

We have also developed courses specifically for staff that are:
Working at height
Rope Access
Aerial Erectors
