The certificated First Aid courses offered at Lea Green Centre are ITC First qualifications. ITC First is an Ofqual recognised Awarding Organisation in England
The 16 hour Outdoor First Aid course (Level 3 Award in Outdoor First Aid) is suitable for those working or volunteering in an outdoor environment. It is particularly suitable for Forest Schools or Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Leaders and meets the requirements for Outdoor National Governing Body Instructor Awards. The course meets the requirements of the Institute for Outdoor Learning Statement of Good Practice for Outdoor First Aid Training at Band 3.
Many of our two day (16 hour) courses also offer the option to certificate for Paediatric First Aid (Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid) at the same time; please check application form and apply accordingly.
Course overview:
Course topics include: roles and responsibilities, dealing with collapse (with and without breathing), choking, bleeding, shock, major illness, torso and limb injuries, environmental effects, heat and cold injuries, using first aid kit, outdoor specific scenarios and outdoor incident management.
The combined Outdoor and Paediatric course also covers planning for and dealing with first aid emergencies involving children and babies, including child and baby CPR and common childhood conditions/illnesses. Those requesting certification for the Paediatric course will also be assessed on these elements.
Courses are predominantly practical with a significant amount of time spent outdoors, whatever the weather. Warm outdoor clothing is required as well as a willingness and ability to take a full and active part in activities. The course is assessed by continual observation of candidate performance. Qualifications are valid for 3 years
