Emergency First Aid
Our 1-day emergency first aid training is open to all members of the public, however, as this is a JAUPT approved course, for professional drivers, this will count towards 7 CPC hours.
We know it can be daunting to take part in practical CPR activities, that's why our trainers make sure the environment is relaxed and enjoyable for everybody while also teaching you essential first aid skills.
The course is held at our head office in Newton Aycliffe, booking links and upcoming dates can be found at the bottom of this page.
The course includes practical and written assessment activities including:
