First Aid Borders is an ITC First approved centre delivering SQA, OfQual and Qualification Wales recognised awards across the UK.
Course one
ITC Certificate in Emergency First Aid at Work
This qualification is designed to provide you, as a first aider, with life saving skills. This course is designed to give you the knowledge to to enable you to manage a casualty for up to 10 minutes before the emergency services arrive or to help you deal with very minor incidents where medical assistance is not needed. It is ideal for the urban/town/office environment where professional help is not too far away. Topics include roles and responsibilities of a first aider, how to deal with a collapsed casualty (and whether they are breathing effectively or not), choking, bleeding, shock, seizures and minor workplace incidents as well as first aid kit suggestions…. The nitty gritty there is a minimum 6 hour instructor contact time with a 1:12 instructor ratio. The certificate is valid for 3 years although the HSE do recommend a 3 hour refresher on an annual basis (we can deliver that too, just enquire!). Assessment by multiple choice questionnaire at the end and ongoing observation throughout the course.
Course Two
ITC Award in Outdoor First Aid and Incident Management
If you work or play in some of the more remote and rural parts of the UK this qualification is designed to meet your needs. It assumes you are more than 30 minutes away from immediate assistance and for those of you with Outdoor national Governing Body Instructor Awards, this is likely to be the minimum First Aid requirement you need to maintain your licence. This course also meets the requirements for the Institute for Outdoor Learning Statement of Good Practice for Outdoor First Aid Training at Band 3..so that’s good! Topics include how to manage an incident when it happens, roles and responsibilities of a first aider, how to deal with a collapsed casualty (and whether they are breathing effectively or not), choking, bleeding, shock and seizures. Also included is major illness, injuries to the torso and limbs and environmental effects. Scenarios are outdoor specific and include incident management, looking after a casualty for some hours, boot and helmet removal and first aid kit suggestions. The nitty gritty there is a minimum 12 – 16 hour instructor contact time with a 1:12 instructor ratio. The course can be delivered over multiple days but individual sessions must be 2 hours long or more and completed within a set time period. The certificate is valid for 3 years. Assessment by continual observation throughout the course.
Course three
ITC First Aid at Work

This course is designed to give you the knowledge to enable you to manage a casualty and/or life threatening incidents or where the the First Aider may have to manage illness, injury, poisoning or burns. A work place risk assessment will determine whether as an employer you need this more comprehensive course. Topics include roles and responsibilities of a first aider, how to deal with a collapsed casualty (and whether they are breathing effectively or not), choking, bleeding, shock, seizures and minor workplace incidents as well as first aid kit suggestions. Managing major illnesses, common and serious workplace injuries, poisoning, anaphylactic shock, burns and eye injury are also included. The nitty gritty there is a minimum 18 hour instructor contact time with a 1:12 instructor ratio. The certificate is valid for 3 years although the HSE do recommend a 3 hour refresher on an annual basis (we can deliver that too, just enquire!). This course is often delivered over 3 days.
