About DAC Education Ltd
Delivering Accredited Courses
in First Aid, Health and Safety and Mental Wellbeing
There are certain core values that a person must hold to decide to educate themselves further in whichever field they choose. Different personalities are suited to different vocations and DAC Education was founded by our Managing Director based on his own core values. Giving others the benefit of personal experiences that are difficult to learn at school, at home or even at work.
Having instructors who have been global expedition leaders, ex Army medics, ex military and active Search and Rescue personnel, makes the real life experiences in emergency situations add the extra confidence to our training, plus it makes for some engaging stories to tell you!
The task of a DAC Education instructor is make the learner become knowledge and confident in the subject they are presenting, not to pass a test at the end. We train and look to our instructors to be confident that when a learner finishes whichever course, they do with us. They are more able and more confident to get involved with a situation and affect a better outcome.
At DAC Education we certainly don’t just talk at you or sit you through a boring powerpoint presentation, no-one really takes that information in, but if you really get involved, you are more likely to recall the learning. For example our outdoor first aid training course is taught outside! It may seem odd for us to make this one of our gleaming selling points but you would be surprised how very few training providers actually teach their outdoor first aid course outside.

At DAC, we do things a little differently on our first aid courses – we bring our personality to the courses and engage with you in a fun and interactive way. Our first aid instructors are global expedition leaders, ex-military, and ex-army medics, we have real-life experiences that we want to share. Whether you’re looking to learn First Aid at Work, First Aid Outdoors, or Paediatric First Aid, we have the perfect training course for you!
One of our opening lines is the absolute basic principle of first aid is keeping the wind going in and out and stopping them from leaking! The more advanced first aid courses you do, the more technical skills you are taught to do just this. There are a lot of acronyms and information to learn in any first aid training, but we do everything to ensure everyone is learning and we are keeping you engaged.
At its most basic, first aid is the initial assistance given to a victim of injury or illness. Comprised of relatively simple techniques that can be performed with rudimentary equipment, first aid is usually carried out by a layperson until professional medical assistance arrives.
All of our first aid courses offer you the chance to enhance your ability and confidence to deal with many different situations where first aid could save a life, whether it's in the workplace, in the great outdoors, at an organised event or at home. There are so many first aid courses out there that it can be difficult to know which one is best suited to your needs. It is really important to us that we train you on the correct first aid course that is relevant to your industry, so please do call us if you are unsure which course you should do.
We feel it is important and a key element to any first aid course that you feel comfortable and we therefore offer to adjust the training to suit your needs. We do not want to bore you with PowerPoints, but we like to get you involved in a fun and engaging way. That's why our Outdoor first aid course is taught outdoors (most other providers teach this course in a classroom). Factoring in the age of the group or individual, the environment that the first aid may need to be applied to and the elements that may be required, we can easily match or tailor a course to suit your requirements.
We can deliver your training in different ways (depending on which course you require) including face-to-face at our training facility in Suffolk or a location of your choice, as well as blended (part classroom, part online), virtual classrooms or completely online. To discuss your particular requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact the team at DAC today. Whether you’re looking to learn more about first aid at your workplace in Norfolk or outdoor first aid in North Essex, we are here to help.
"The instructor who's life experience, knowledge and brilliant teaching style helped make the time fly by.
As I am normally very uncomfortable in these role play activities this smoothly executed course gave me the confidence to say I can enter an emergency situation and help someone potentially in a life threatening position."

“Fantastic training by a brilliant teacher! Very knowledgable and full of great stories. Check him out if you are looking for training to boost your CV.”

I for one was expecting this first responder course to be the standard turn up and sit there bored for 3/4 day , but the trainer made it a course that was exciting and worth while listening to . The fact that he does a lot of mountain rescue means he could understand a lot of the stuff that we deal with on a day to day basis”
