St. John Ambulance

St. John Ambulance is the UK's leading First Aid, transport and Care charity. Its mission is to provide First Aid and medical support services, caring services in support of community needs and education, training and personal development to young people.

First Aid in the workplace:

First Aid at Work - Initial.
The First Aid at Work (statutory) course complies with the current Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Successful students receive certificates to show that they are qualified to be First Aiders in the workplace for the next three years.

Emergency Aid for Appointed Persons.
This course is ideal for smaller workplaces that present few health and safety risks, where a nominated person is required to take charge in the event of illness or accident. Fully qualified First Aiders in larger organisations can also benefit from additional support from Appointed Persons. This is especially relevant where the workplace may consist of many floors, or work is operated in shifts.

First Aid at Work - Requalification.
This course refreshes and updates the First Aid skills of those who need to renew their First Aid at Work (statutory) certificate and whose existing certificate is still valid. First Aiders whose certificates have expired must attend the full four-day First Aid at Work course.

Skills Update/Practice Session.
The course provides First Aiders in the workplace with an opportunity to practise and update their skills at any time during their three-year period as a qualified First Aider, so that they remain prepared for an emergency. We recommend that they attend at least once during this time, especially if First Aid incidents are rare in their workplace.

First Aid in Schools:

First Aid for School staff.

Emergency Aid in Schools.
This course covers emergency situations common in the school environment and is therefore ideal for teachers and other school support staff.

Emergency Aid for Appointed Persons (Schools)
This course is ideal for schools where a nominated person is required to take charge in the event of illness or accident.

First Aid for School children.

Young Lifesaver.
This course provides a basic introduction to First Aid for young people. The course gives students grounding in managing an incident and the most commonly needed First Aid skills.

Young Lifesaver Plus.
This course provides a advance training in First Aid for young people. St. John Ambulance believes that it is never too early to start learning First Aid and that all children should leave school with these vital skills.
