We can also design first aid sessions specifically for your group – perhaps you and your friends would like to learn first aid for babies and children at a time and place to suit you. Other courses are available for motorists, athletes and babysitters.

All our first aid courses are flexible, easy to follow and led by friendly, experienced trainers.

To find out more about the first aid courses available in your area or to discuss your requirements, call 0844 871 8000 or contact the Red Cross office near you.
