Our First Aid for Teenagers courses are extremely popular, and as parents ourselves, we make certain that we cover all of the common first aid emergencies and provide everyone with the confidence to keep themselves a little safer and to help each other when it really counts.
We can also run bespoke courses for groups of friends and are happy to customise them to meet specific needs such as post-exam trips away, gap years, and sports qualifications.
