Courses

Staying Alive offer a wide range of courses to suit everyone's needs.  Remember that courses can be split over sessions of 2-3 hours on dates to suit you so please contact us to discuss your needs.  Most courses are valid for 3 years.

Trainers work to the recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council and HSE with a mannequin to every 4 students. Trainers use a variety of methods to reinforce learning and aid retention.  Staying Alive want candidates to leave a course confident to use the knowledge and procedures learned.  Every student matters.

Our First Aid at Work [FAW] courses for the work place help you to look after your employees.  They are designed, regulated and monitored by the Health and Safety Executive [HSE]. 

The Paediatric course is specifically for those looking after young children.  This Early Years Foundation Stage [EYFS] is the one OFSTED require for childminders, pre-schools and schools with pupils in the year in which they become 5.  

As mentioned in "Every Child Matters" (May 2008) on page 26 of the Statutory Framework [Welfare Requirements] and Page 23 [Appendix 1] of the Practice Guidance
