Our First Aid Courses
Here at Hopkins Academy, we know that not everyone has the knowledge to recognise or take action when someone needs assistance. That’s why our courses are all about training students how to decide the right course of action with instructors that have the skills, knowledge and understanding to deliver courses in an engaging way. With our help, learners leave armed with the confidence and ability to know exactly what to do when faced with an emergency situation.
Emergency First Aid at Work
If your assessment of first aid requirements highlights the need for qualified first aiders, then this course will refresh the knowledge of your qualified first aiders.
The course covers a range of fundamental information needed to help emergency first aiders fulfil their role, including primary and secondary surveys, full body examinations, the recovery position, administering CPR, using an AED, and treating certain injuries including: small cuts, grazes, bruises, minor burns and scalds, small splinters
Basic Life Support (BLS)
This Basic Life Support course is designed to give you the knowledge and understanding required to react quickly and appropriately in emergency situations.
This course will help provide you with invaluable knowledge on how to deliver potentially life-saving help. It teaches you how to assess situations with primary and secondary surveys, techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the recovery position and how to react to a variety of emergencies such as choking or anaphylaxis.
First Aid at Work
It is a requirement of the Health & Safety law that employers provide a safe and healthy
environment to work in.
If your assessment of first aid requirements highlights the need for qualified first aiders, then this level 3 qualification (level 6 in Scotland) will provide you with suitably trained personnel.
This comprehensive three-day course covers a wide range of first aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way. In addition, this course will include any protocol changes that may have arisen since their last training course.
Defibrillator Training
Heart and circulatory disease claims around 200,000 lives each year. Many could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are now becoming more common throughout a range of
public and workplaces. A casualty’s survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
This very practical course will enable your learners to use the AED competently and with confidence.
Not only does this course deal with the use of an AED but it also includes vital training in basic life
support including resuscitation.
