"First Training ran their First Aid for the School Environment Course in a relaxed, positive, informative way making it easy for the participants to understand. The feedback from all the staff acknowledged that the course was conducted in such a way that was enjoyable, easy to listen to and enlightening and has given them the confidence they needed to enable them to administer first aid if the situation ever arises. Thank you First Training for running such an awesome course."
Heather Walsh, Co-ordinator, Laingholm Primary School, March 2006

Outdoor First Aid Course
Ideal for Teachers on School Camps and EOTC
This 2-Day course is relevant to ANYONE who goes into the outdoors where an ambulance is not readily available. Situations where qualified help is not close at hand requires a higher level of expertise in dealing with an emergency. No previous experience or fitness is required.
The Outdoor First Aid course was very comprehensive, lots of hands-on outdoor scenarios with debriefing and examples of real-life situations.
Sandra Turner: Very beneficial and while not yet tested I am sure it has given me the confidence to act to do the best that can be achieved in the outdoor conditions prevailing.
Brian: Very good, a really hands on course which is good, covering a wide range of Health and Safety situations. D Grimmer
