Emergency first aid training for school staff

This 6-hour course is intended for those nominated by their employer to perform the role of first aider in a school setting. It is designed for school teachers, support staff and lunch  time supervisors to be able to take control and respond to a person/child who may become ill or injured (on or off site) in a safe, prompt and effective manner. Managing time is precious for schools; this course can be tailored around your school's needs and delivered on an inset day or two evenings after school.

​

This course exceeds the requirements recommended by the Government document 'First Aid in Schools'. 

We can also combine this course with our paediatric blended (12) hour course and the use of an adrenaline auto injector, so staff are fully trained to deal with adult, paediatric and anaphylactic emergencies.  For more details contact Calne based Wiltshire First Aid Training, and we will be happy to help.

Course reviews

"The course was great.  It was refreshing to be on a course that didn't use a PowerPoint.  Dave was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great balance of participation.  Prompt start and finish."
