We have public (open) first aid courses available throughout the year around the UK, with places available for individual members of the public to book. Details are here. We provide Remote Emergency Care level 2, 4 and 5 training, which conforms to the requirements of the MLTUK, BCU, RYA and other major NGBs as suitable first aid training for instructors, guides and skippers. All our courses are delivered by experienced outdoor professionals from a variety of backgrounds including paddling, mountaineering, sailing and diving.

As well as providing public courses, we offer private courses for outdoor centres. Centres often fill courses with their own instructors, but also have the option to sell spare places to their own clients or members of the public. These courses are tailored specifically to the activities provided by the centre, for example sea kayaking, climbing, coasteering, yachting or multiactivity. Again, our trainers are experienced outdoor professionals, and the trainer will be matched to the activities provided by the centre. For example, our courses tailored to sailors are delivered by an experienced round-the-world yachtsman who has worked as an intensive care nurse for over 20 years. Training is available at all levels, from basic to advanced.
