Description
This course is designed for people who want to receive St John Ambulance's most thorough first aid training. It is most suited to those working in high-risk environments, such as building sites or warehouses.
Candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2). While St John Ambulance are often able to provide support to people who do not have English as a first language, their ability to do so is limited by the time available and the number of people who require assistance. They may be able to make special arrangements if requested in advance. Please contact us if you need any guidance.
