A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment.

A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role.

The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.

  • "I have just completed a 3 day First Aid at Work course with Louize and it was amazing."

  • The course was full of information, was supported by a great workbook, practical sessions, role play and much more. Louize was knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, understanding and a great teacher.

  • I was worried at the start that I would find it boring as I have completed similar courses in the past. I couldn’t have been more wrong!
