Activity First Aid Course

The Activity First Aid course is a popular choice for athletic and sports coaches. In particular, it provides participants with critical first-aid skills and knowledge.

As a result, they are better equipped to respond effectively in sports and athletic environments.

Furthermore, you will learn how to effectively perform high-quality CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) confidently and safely for someone experiencing cardiac arrest and not breathing.

Additionally, this hands-on first-aid course teaches you to manage common illnesses and injuries, including cuts and wounds, minor burns and scalds, asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, and minor sports injuries.

Our first aid course covers the Emergency First Aid at Work syllabus on the first day.

On day 2, we will delve deeper into the ailments and conditions outlined in the First Aid at Work syllabus.

Additionally, we will provide important information on common sports injuries you may encounter while coaching.

It’s important to note that Activity First Aid is regulated by OFQUAL (England’s regulatory body) and accredited by Qualifications Network UK, ensuring that you receive high-quality training that meets industry standards.
