Everyone that shows competence in delivering Emergency Aid will receive an Emergency First Aid certificate which is valid for a period of 36 months. This certificate is issued by Worksafe Training Systems who are approved to deliver First Aid training by the Health & Safety Executive.

Please Note: The content involves an amount of practical activity either simulating casualties or administering First Aid. You should therefore be able to kneel and lie down etc with ease. The performance of resuscitation can be physically demanding and may need to be performed for a period of many minutes in real life. Providing you are of average fitness this should not present any major problems.
