First Aid Training Courses in Liverpool, Lancashire and Manchester
First aid training in the workplace has become increasingly important over the last few decades. While your business might seem like a safe place to work, accidents, illness and injury can happen even in the most tranquil of environments.
Based in Skelmersdale and Liverpool, we focus on providing first aid training to companies and individuals. Training can take place at our sites or our trainers can deliver courses on your premises nationwide.
First Aid Courses from FTW Training
We provide accredited first aid training that are suitable for complete novices as well as those looking to refresh or update their skills. We provide three distinct Qualsafe courses:
Level 3 First Aid at Work – Nominated First Aider Training
Upon successful completion of the EFAW course, participants will receive a Qualsafe accredited certificate valid for three years.
TheQualsafe accredited First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification, is designed to provide comprehensive training for workplace First Aiders. This three-day course is ideal for individuals who are appointed as First Aiders in their workplace or those seeking an in-depth understanding of First Aid.
Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work
If one of your employees or someone who is visiting your place of work is injured or taken ill, health and safety regulations mean you should provide them with immediate attention. It is much easier to do this if one or more of your staff have had first aid training.
This course is nationally recognised and covers important skills such as how to manage an unresponsive patient, what to do if someone is choking, how to administer CPR and how to deal with wounds and cuts.
Level 3 Paediatric First Aid
If you are providing early years schooling, then you will need to have at least one person working in your business who has passed a paediatric first aid course. This course is aimed at businesses such as nurseries and individual childminders as well as parents and grandparents who want to learn basic first aid skills.
In addition to standard first aid, this course provides skills development in child-specific issues such as how to deal with meningitis, asthma and how to quickly assess an emergency.
Level 2 Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator
If a life-threatening situation occurs in your business or at home, having the skills and knowledge to save an injured or ill person is invaluable. While you wait for an ambulance to arrive, immediate action can often mean the difference between life and death.
An AED or automated external defibrillator is a portable device that can be used to diagnose cardiac problems and issue life-saving shocks to get the heart beating again. Some 30,000 people suffer from a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital environment each year and getting quick treatment is critical.
This course is aimed at individuals from all backgrounds and includes general first aid and life-saving skills as well as how to use an AED on children and adults and how to combine it with CPR.
