Introduction
In October 2009 the Health and Safety Executive made significant changes to first aid training in the UK. One of their 'strong recommendations' is that anyone completing a first aid qualification, which is valid for 3 years, should refresh their CPR skills on an annual basis. This short 3 hour course satisfies this requirement and, if you completed your original training with us, ... its FREE! Simply enter "FREE" in the Discount Code at the time of booking.Candidates
