Course Overview

This practical first aid course has been designed to fulfil the first aid requirements of the ‘ISU Licence to Practice Training’ course.

Practical and realistic scenarios are delivered by experienced and qualified instructors which will enable delegates to learn and practice their new skills in a structured and controlled environment.
