We are pleased to offer a 2-day First Aid Course set in the heart of Dartmoor in conjunction with First Aid 4 Life. This course is recongnised by most National Governing Bodies Instructor Awards including Canoeing and Kayaking (BCU) and Mountaineering and Rock Climbing (MLTUK).
Highly practical and interactive, the course assumes no prior first aid knowledge and stresses the importance of problem solving and decision making. Most people have an innate ability to do the right thing in an emergency, what phases them is deciding what to do next! We take that natural ability and train it in systematic decision making which is practised to ensure permanence. This includes almost four hours of practical and enjoyable indoor and outdoor scenarios to really cement learning.
The course is accredited on the National Qualifications Framework through ITC First Aid of which First Aid 4 Life is a Registered Provider approved to deliver QCF and ITC accredited qualifications. First Aid 4 Life's trainers all have an active interest and commitment to the outdoor environment, understanding the issues, dilemmas and judgements required when dealing with incidents in potentially hostile remote environments, making the training highly relevant to those whose work or leisure is in these environments.
