Our Outdoor first aid courses are taught in a wooded area under a parachute at the historical Sutton Hoo site near Woodbridge, Suffolk. This Outdoor training is our most popular first aid course, not only because it is actually taught outside but also because this is where our instructors excel at being able to share their personal experiences to help our learners remember first aid.
Our first aid training for the Agricultural industry is unique in how it is taught as we can tailor the course to a farm’s own first aid needs. Whether the farm is predominately arable we can teach learners how to help save their own lives when they are alone in a remote location. If the farm requires first aid knowledge of injuries resulting from livestock incidents we can talk through crush injuries or catastrophic bleeding. We also offer courses for mental well being for those who work alone or remotely which is important for many farm workers.
First Aid courses for construction sites offers the opportunity to learn about working from heights, slips, trips and falls, fire safety, power tool injuries, workplace safety, identifying hazards or creating risk assessments. We take the time to ask learners about any specific first aid training that may be required on their own construction site.
Schools that require a first aid course could need anything from paediatric first aid training which teaches the most common first aid techniques needed in a school, head injuries, bumps and bruises, all the way to the first aid requirements of a Duke of Edinburgh supervisor or recognising ill mental health in students or colleagues.

First Aid is defined as aid that is given to a casualty first.
Is it worth doing a first aid course?
Performing first aid isn't always the actions of those in the medical profession, it can be a simple yet effective assistance by a passer by. Having the confidence and a basic knowledge of first aid is often a vital part of saving somebody's life. In more mild cases the emergency services may not be needed because of the swift and confident actions of somebody trained in first aid. Yes, it is worth doing some first aid training because that person could be you.
Mental Health is described as being happy with your existence, state of mind, health and happiness.
Is it worth doing a mental health course?
Ensuring that your own mental well-being is taken care of is the first important step to being able to recognise signs that others are not coping well with the daily stresses of life. Being able to pick up on signs of poor mental health could prevent incidents and tragedies. Ensuring the mental health first aid course you take is an accredited mental health or mental ill health course will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to support those around you at home and in the workplace.
Health and Safety is putting procedures in place to help prevent accident or injury.
Is a health and safety first aid course the same as a basic first aid course?
Health and safety courses are different to first aid courses. First aid training teaches the practical side of life saving techniques such as cpr, stopping bleeding or choking for example. A health and safety course offers knowledge on identifying any potential hazards, risk assessments and ensuring procedures are in place should an accident or incident occur.
