This course will help ensure that the first aid skills are fresh in your mind for the beginning of the season!
You will sharpen your practical outdoor first aid skills on this one day, six-hour course. Over the day, you will revise CPR, the recovery position, shock and bleeding. You’ll also take part in several realistic scenarios designed to increase your confidence when dealing with casualties and emergencies.

Will this course extend my 16-hour outdoor first aid certificate?
