First Aid Training

NSVL has a number of First Aid trainers and can organise HSE approved Appointed Person and First Aid at Work courses.

The First Aid at Work course is 24 hours (or 4 days) and lasts 3 years. A revalidation of qualification is currently 12 hours (2 days).

There is also an Appointed Person certificate which is a basic qualification run over 1 day and the minimum level of first aid cover suggested for small workplaces.
