First Aid Level 1

The First Aid Level 1 course is intended primarily for people wishing to learn the effective skills of providing CPR and First Aid to victims of all ages. This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a Department of Labour First Aid Certificate to meet job, regulatory, or other requirements. First on Scene have developed a Level 1 course with increased content to help you deal with all emergencies correctly and confidently.

 

 

 

First Aid Level 2

The objective of this course is to allow students with a basic knowledge of first aid to become proficient and confident in the practical application of their skills. A lot of time will be spent on primary and secondary surveys and introduction to patient simulations so students learn to make the right decisions on the extent of an injury and treat it correctly.

 

 

 

 

First Aid Level 3

The objective of this course is to allow participants with an advanced knowledge of first aid to become proficient and confident in the practical application of their skills. Theory learnt on the Level 1 and 2 courses is taught at a higher level and is all done in scenario based settings. A substantial amount of time will be spent on primary and secondary surveys so that participants learn to make the right decisions on the extent of an injury and how to treat it correctly. This will be by far the most important and beneficial part of the Level 3 course.
