Course Overview
This one-day course is SQA SCQF Level 6 accredited and satisfies the requirements of the new HSE qualification “Emergency First Aider in the Workplace”. Delegates are competency assessed throughout the course, in scenarios they may reasonably encounter in real life. But please do not worry about this assessment as the Trainer will be there to support you every step of the way.
Delegates will have the opportunity to learn in a practical way, with aids and resources. There is also the chance to ask questions and build confidence in a learning environment.
The bulk of the course is practical and “hands on” so please wear clothing that is comfortable and appropriate. Also, participants might wish to bring a notebook and pen. You will definitely need to bring an open mind, a willingness to engage and a sense of humour.
