First Aid for Builders and Construction

Service Description

This course is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge (and a lot more) needed to accompany the Emergency First Aid at Work 6 hour First Aid course. The content also serves as an ideal annual refresher covering the full HSE syllabus plus head and spinal injuries, heart attack, asthma and much more. This course fulfils all the criteria for Appointed Person First Aid training, however a practical course is required in order to qualify as a full First Aider. This course does not seek to replace the practical element but allows you to undertake the on-line training at a time and place to suit you and then book onto practical course should you need to do so. This course is an excellent First Aid Training package for those with English as a Second Language to prepare themselves to pass a practical first aid course.
