First Aid Training for all.

We are one Wales' leading providers of Rescue and Emergency Care (REC) first aid courses. 

Our HSE approved courses are delivered in a way that promotes an enjoyable and friendly learning environment. REC courses are not designed to overload you with terminology, but to provide training that will equip you to deal with a wide range of first aid scenarios. Sitting in a classroom for 2 days is not what this course is about.

The 2 day course is ideally suited for instructors, teachers, youth workers, voluntary assistants/leaders, climbers, canoeists, expedition providers, park wardens, shopkeepers; actually it is relevant to anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of first aid.

The course meets the requirements for most National Governing Bodies such as ; Mountain Leader Training (MLT), Canoe Wales (CT), British Canoe Union (BCU), DofE, Scouts, Girl Guides, British Caving Association, UK and Scottish Mountain Bike Awards,  Basic Expedition Leader Award, RYA, BOF, etc

Previous clients have come from all walks of life, including teachers, youth workers, nurses, scout leaders, D of E leaders, parents, fire fighters, shop-workers, police officers. the list is endless.
