Courses
We currently run a number of courses a year, aimed at helping everyone to learn first aid (see photos).  Anyone can learn first aid,  you do not need to be brainy and you do not need to be super-fit, you just need to want to learn!  We have trained people from seven years old to over eighty and have helped those with wide range of learning needs to gain competence in first aid.  We do not have exams or tests in our courses, but continually assess your progress and help you to achieve the very best that you can.

We provide the following courses, usually based at our training venue (Crondall Old Gymnasium):

• Adult Emergency Life Support (2 hours) 
• Child and Infant Resuscitation (2 hours)
• Basic First Aid, First Response (6-8 hours) 
• Scout/Guide/Cub first aid badges

Groups Trained
We have provided training for the following groups:

• Riding for the Disabled
• Scout and Guide Association
• Hants and Berks Rover Owners
• New parents group
• Aikido club
• Crondall Entertainers Community Association
