Introduction
This SQA qualification is designed to provide an accredited and certificated award that will equip individuals with the skills and knowledge required to deal with a range of emergencies that require first aid in the work place.
This is a practical course, and is suitable for those who are:
- ‘Appointed Persons’ in the workplace in organisations with comparatively low health & safety risks where there may not be a Certificated First Aider on site
- for people whose jobs mean they move around from site to site or work in small groups
- for self-employed and home based people.
This Health & Safety Executive (HSE), nationally recognised qualification, is valid for 3 years.
** If you require First Aid with Forestry – please advise at time of booking**
This course is a very practical course so you must be able to get up and down from the floor. Learners are expected to perform CPR on a manikin on the floor for a minimum of 2 minutes. Due to the nature of regulated first aid assessment, there will be a requirement to work in very close proximity with others.

Testimonial
“This is the first time I’ve actually enjoyed being a part of a first aid course. The trainer made it light and informative, and even covered how to administer first aid to children for me because I had asked. Thanks so much!”
– Nicole Templeton, owner of The Snooks
