FIR1: 'First Aid'

First Aid for Complementary Therapists

This is a dynamic 1-day course in essential First Aid skills to the national recommended standards of the Health and Safety Executive for Emergency Life Support. Presented by David Tagg of 'Back to Work', an ex-paramedic and back-care specialist.

It is an ideal course for therapists, people involved in the health & leisure industry and everyone who seeks the knowledge to manage First Aid situations confidently.

As well as 4-hour training in Emergency/Appointed Person First Aid, there will be sessions on adverse reactions and Anaphylactic Shock, particularly relevant to the therapist working alone, plus a fascinating introduction to the use of Natural Remedies in First Aid - for the personal use of those attending.

Comments from Students:

"The Course was very interesting - really enjoyed it. David explained everything well. Content and structure was good. Very well organised - and interesting - thoroughly enjoyed it".

"Excellent day of First Aid and plus much more helpful information".

"Found David to be very informative and interesting - didn't waffle on so that you lost interest. Flowed naturally so easy to follow".

"A lot of practical information and shared experience".

"Broad based and not restricted". "The First Aid content was excellent - everything we needed to know and the session on complementary therapies in emergencies was more than I expected".

"I was not looking forward to 'yet another First Aid course' but this was definitely not 'another First Aid Course'. Excellent".

"The highlight was the amount of self-help information especially the introduction to Auricular Therapy".

The Fee is £85. A non-returnable deposit of £42.50 applies - and is forfeited if cancellation occurs WITHIN 4 WEEKS prior to the commencement date of the course. Earlier cancellations cause the rescheduling of such Applicants to the next, available course in the area.

We require a minimum number of students to run this Course; therefore, if students do not wish to transfer to the next available course, deposits will be returned to students - if we do not have sufficient numbers for a course to run.

Unless 'force majeure' can be demonstrated to our satisfaction, such fees are also non-returnable and non-transferable - should cancellation be effected WITHIN 4 WEEKS prior to the commencement date of the course.
