An innovative approach to First Aid at Work training

first-aid-1024x6781-1000x662.jpg
Specialist Training has just finished a radical overhaul of the way it carries out its First Aid at Work (FAW) training courses. 

The old traditional way of classroom based teaching towards a set of final written and practical tests has been replaced by a much more dynamic continuous assessment approach.

What makes the approach so special?

This is something that has not been part of regular training for many years. Additionally, the development of the first aiders role as the "early warnings spotter" for severe illnesses is also incorporated. Anaphylaxis, Stroke and Sepsis recognition are all now included in this section of the training.

Scenarios are introduced and trainees are presented with some very realistic issues to deal with. We have invested in a number of "life like" training aids and scenarios to provide some seriously challenging tests for the trainees!

There is a buzz about the new approach to training First Aid at Work that has engaged trainees and trainers alike.  To see what it's all about, book onto one of our courses soon.
