COVID 19
Whilst our NHS is currently stretched it has never been more important to be as self reliant as we can. Part of that is knowing what to do to deal quickly with everyday medical situations, where prompt action could mean a trip to the GP or A&E is not then required.
At the same time many will not want to attend a public First Aid course. So why not sign up for an online course instead - ours use video to teach rather than having pages and pages to read or of a powerpoint presentation. Video is like a private class just for you.
To view all our online courses click here. For many online courses you can also study online ie Appointed Person £24.95 + vat and then book a private half an hour session a practical 'hands on' session.
We also provide private 'one to one' classes - for more details click here.
We also have a FREE to study Coronavirus COVID-19 online course.
Just email us with any questions or for further information.

February 2019
The HSE now recommends that employers provide haemostatic dressings and tourniquets in their first aid kits, where it’s possible that trauma could occur.
An update to BS8599-1:2019 means that new BSi first aid kit rules are in force.
There are two new additions – a ‘critical injury pack’ for a severe life-threatening bleed or mass-casualty attack, and a new ‘personal first aid kit’, ideal for those lone-working and outside of the office. Minor other changes have been made to the small, medium and large workplace and catering kits.

HSE news:
The HSE has approved the use of Blended Training for First Aid courses for Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW) courses for the workplace. Our trade body ProTrainings EU has introduced all options for these courses and also for non HSE courses including, Driver CPC, Equestrian and Forestry versions of the courses.
Blended training means you can reduce the time training has to be completed in the classroom by completing part of your training online using our full feature video online training. Blended training is nothing new and it has been delivered for many years. We already have blended Basic Life Support, AED and our popular Paediatric First Aid courses. Our video based training is more engaging that PowerPoint based training courses.
Part One is completed online for a blended course and then part two of the course is where you complete the practical part of your course. Half day for an EFAW, two days for a First Aid at Work and one day for the First Aid at Work re-qualification. When you complete part two, you will receive your certificate in the post. See bulletin here.
