The booking client can choose from a list of First Aid topics that suits their outcomes of the presentation. The First Aid Topics List is sent as part of the First Aid Booking Form.

What scenarios do you cover in your courses?

As The First Aid Training Guy I pride myself on contextualizing the relevant course to the client’s needs and outcomes. This way each participant will be more engaged with the course and can relate to what is being taught.
For example: Gym Owner First Aid Course
Asthma Scenario's:

A customer is cycling and starts to have shallow and difficulty breathing, they collapse over the bike as they are very fatigued. On approach you see they are conscious and breathing
After a strenuous workout, the Group PT notices that one of their participants is not looking well, they start complaining of difficulty breathing and they have blue lips and are consistently coughing.

Great referesher. I think these are really important no matter how many times you have done them in the past. The visual run through of the defib was great. I really feel confident.
