Level 1 Practical First Aid Training
The course is designed to build upon skills that have been learned in theory based courses. It introduces practical first aid through a number of outdoor scenarios.

- A Concept - based course to enable practical improvisation and adaptability
- A lay course that suits candidates wishing to practice their skills
- An excellent opportunity to refresh skills that have become rusty with time
