Course Overview
Basics of First Aid for School and College Staff
First aid provision for schools and colleges can be complicated by needing to cover both first aid for adults and children. Rather than completing 2 separate qualifications, we’re able to offer this 14 hour (plus breaks) course, which includes first aid emergencies to both students and staff.
Practical, Hands-on Training
We believe that first aid is a practical subject, best taught practically. That’s why our training courses include plenty of hands-on training in first aid techniques and procedures. We only use presentations to reinforce the theory behind each area of first aid, rather than as the main way of delivering our training.

- Looking after an unconscious child or adult

Who is it for
The 2 day ITC L3 Award in First Aid for Schools and Colleges is aimed at staff in education settings who may be responsible for providing temporary care to either a child or an adult. The course covers a wide range of injury and illness related issues relevant to both children and adults. The decision as to whether this qualification is the right one for your staff group should be based on your first aid needs assessment.
If you also require the L3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work, we are able to run this course concurrently, meaning that successful candidates can achieve both qualifications together. Likewise, we can also provide training and assessment for the L3 Award in Paediatric First Aid alongside this qualification, but this will require a longer course, due to the additional course content relating to infants (under 1 year old).
If you need a less in depth course for some staff, consider our 1 day ITC L3 Award in Emergency First Aid for Schools and Colleges. We can also run the 2 courses together, with some staff attending for day 1 and others for the full qualification.
