The day opens with an introduction to first aid principles, responsibilities, anatomy, and the legal context. Delivered through clear, engaging presentations by an experienced instructor. - Practical demonstrations
Your instructor demonstrates key techniques, CPR, using a defibrillator, bleeding control, choking response, and more, before participants practise each skill hands-on in a safe environment. - Case studies and group discussions
Real-world scenarios and group discussions help participants apply their knowledge to workplace situations and build confidence in decision-making under pressure. - Continuous assessment
Throughout the day your instructor observes practical skills and checks understanding. There's no formal written exam, assessment is built into the activities you do during the course. - Certification
