AED Training

Cardiac arrest is the single biggest killer in the UK. It is a condition in which the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly due to a fault in the hearts electrical system.

It can strike without warning and in the UK kills approximately:

  • 2000 people every week
  • 12 young people a week
  • 1 person every 5 minutes

The only treatment for this is by delivering an electric shock to the heart, ideally within the first few minutes as part of the chain of survival. This will greatly increase the chance of survival. Without this, over 95% of sufferers die.

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are becoming more common in workplaces and the community. Our training follows the guidelines, and beyond of the European resuscitation council and the Resuscitation council UK to ensure a comprehensive programme, thus ensuring a confident and competent operator.

This course is a level 2 qualification.

AED & CPR course (in house): £300 (max of 6) – £500 (max of 12)

Student 1st Aid

The Government has introduced mandatory basic first aid training in all state-funded secondary schools in England. This training is part of Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. Department for Education guidance says that pupils should know:

  • Basic treatment for common injuries
  • Life-saving skills, including how to administer CPR
  • The purpose of defibrillators and when one might be needed

Learning first aid skills such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), will give young people the confidence to know that they can help someone and potentially save a life. The aim is that all pupils in England will have been taught the basic first aid skills by the time they leave secondary school.

In countries that already teach CPR in schools, cardiac arrest survival rates are more than double those of the UK.

First Aid Awards (FAA) have developed the FAA Level 2 Award in Student First Aid (RQF) to meet this requirement with the qualification being available to pupils from the age of 11. The qualification covers CPR and the safe use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), choking and common injuries such as head injuries, bleeding control, broken bones and sprains/strains.

1st Aid For Mental Health

Each year approximately 1 in 4 people will suffer a mental health issue and at least 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health issues in the workplace. Research has shown that work is the biggest cause of stress which can stop people performing at their best. Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research has shown that a culture of fear and silence is costly to employers.
