WHAT MAKES THESE COURSES DIFFERENT?

 

 

Andy specialises in aspects of practical First Aid / pre-hospital emergency care training not generally covered on 'voluntary services' or commercial courses.

Training includes elements — theory and practical — appropriate for urban or remote environments — whether the Firstaider be operating in the U.K. or abroad — where they are away from immediate aid, and often (out of necessity) supplementing the usual materials with improvisations.

Whilst each course runs from a foundation syllabus, every course is different — being related to the experience and requirements of those attending.

All too often in this age of almost immediate communication, we are used to believing that "Remote" applies to geographical distance.  In fact, the term "Remote" relates more to time from medical care!  Ambulance / rescue team response times are extremely variable, and often weather related!

Immediate Medical Care Courses for Instructors & Leaders

 

 

Remote environment courses for Instructors and Expedition Leaders / Members include appropriate elements of the HSE First Aid at Work syllabus and take into account illnesses and injuries sustained in wilderness / high mountain environments, or during Climbing, Kayaking, Skiing, Caving, Paragliding etc.

The first courses were developed 23 years ago, in consultation with the (then) Mountain Leader Training Board.  They rapidly gained recognition by other professional sports governing bodies, — including :-

Mountain Leader Training England, Wales & Scotland (Summer & Winter), WGL, BELA, SPA, IML, MIA, MIC, British Mountaineering Council, BMC Guides, 

British Canoe Union & WCA,

British Association of Snow Instructors,

British Orienteering Federation,

Scottish Mountain Bike Leaders Award,

Duke of Edinburgh's Award,

Basic Expedition Award, etc.

 

 

HEALTH & SAFETY

Commercial / Industrial First Aid courses are based upon a syllabus recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (The First Aid at Work Guidelines 1981).

Health & Safety Executive first aid training courses.

 

A variety of training programmes are available, including "Emergency First Aid",  "Appointed Person" courses and the standard "HSE First Aid at Work courses" -- both the full courses and the Revalidation courses.

 

 

Courses continue to evolve, moving in pace with both commercial and recreational requirements.  If you do not see what you require on these pages, please get in touch regarding the production of an 'In-House' course program.
