COURSE CATALOGUE
Be Ready for Any Emergency, Anywhere
Our Primary and Secondary Care training courses are built to prepare you for real-life emergencies—wherever they happen. While each course is grounded in the core skills and standards set by Emergency First Response (EFR), we tailor the content to match the specific risks of your workplace, sport, or social setting.
​
Whether it's performing CPR on a Dragon Boat, treating an injury during a sports match, or managing an unexpected crisis in your daily environment, our training equips you to respond confidently and effectively.
