LEVEL 2 STUDENT FIRST AID : 3-HOUR COURSE
As of the end of September 2020, the Government announced that health education will be compulsory in all state-funded schools in England and this includes basic first aid training.
​
This 3-hour Student First Aid course has been designed for key stage 3 and key stage 4 students (11+ years) and fulfils the requirements of the Department for Education in respect of first aid training.
