What is Basic First Aid?

Basic first aid refers to the immediate and initial care provided to an injured or ill person until professional medical help arrives. It involves simple, essential techniques and procedures to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery. Basic first aid skills include assessing the situation, performing CPR, controlling bleeding, immobilizing fractures, treating burns, and providing basic wound care. These skills are crucial for anyone to have in order to respond effectively to common medical emergencies and potentially save lives.

About our Basic First Aid Level 2 (VTQ) Training Course

Our comprehensive Basic First Aid course covers vital skills such as recovery position, CPR, choking, bleeding, shock, burns, and more. It is a flexible training option suitable for situations not governed by HSE rules. While primary and some secondary skills are covered, additional subjects can be added as needed. This course does not include workplace training, as other courses like EFAW, FAW, and Appointed Person are better suited for that purpose. It includes the latest CPR and Coronavirus recommendations, aligns with UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021, and is endorsed by TQUK. Contact us for group discounts and onsite training options. Virtual remote classes are available, providing the same qualification as traditional classroom courses.
