First Aid for Schools
This course covers essential life saving first aid techniques for both children and adults in a school environment.
Depending on the age of the children in your care the course may involve more paediatric elements if they are of primary school age.
Running a whole school inset day first aid training course is a great team building day. Your staff learn or refresh their first aid skills which is always a great confidence boost.
