First Response

Does your first aid qualification expire in the next six months? Why not get signed up now for one of the forthcoming sessions? Below is a note of the training until the end of June 2025. Please use the relevant link to sign up.

Everyone must complete the first response e learning, theory and practical sessions. The sessions can be done by attending two 2-hour Zoom sessions to cover the theory elements and then a 2-hour face-to-face practical session. Please note the theory must be completed before attending the practical session. 

OR alternatively attend a full day session which will cover both the theory and practical sessions.

The first response e-learning must be completed before attending sessions. The charge is £15 and an invoice will be issued to the unit leader once the training is completed, this is a unit expense.
