First Aid
Bringing extensive experience from an arboricultural and military background, our first aid instructor applies their extensive knowledge to our courses, which are designed to be practical, engaging, relevant and focused on providing the skills and knowledge needed to administer first aid. We are proud of our reputation as one of the most highly respected arboriculture/forestry first aid providers in the South West, offering courses across the region and further afield.
Believing that up-to-date industry-specific first aid training is essential for all those working in the land-based sector, we are passionate about giving people the confidence to deal with first aid emergencies on-site, at the roadside or at home.
Our programmes are held outside in a woodland environment near to Exeter, UK. Most of them are aimed at those in the arboriculture, forestry, landscaping, grounds maintenance or other land-based industries. Topics include catastrophic bleeds, tourniquet use, first-aid kit contents requirements, crush injuries and remote emergency care.
Individual and group bookings are possible for our courses in Devon. We can also deliver courses for your organisation at a suitable location.
Our most popular is the one-day Level 3 emergency first aid at work +F forestry first aid course. A scenario-based day designed for those new to first aid or those refreshing their qualifications, it is delivered by our lead instructor Matt, an experienced arborist and former Royal Marines Commando.
In addition to the Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work +F course, we offer an aerial-rescue-focused first aid workshop, bespoke industry- or job-specific first aid workshops and a two-day course, including additional scenarios to work through. If you would like further information or would like to discuss your first aid training requirements, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
