Suitable For:

Smaller/low risk organisations where an appointed person is required to take charge in the event of illness or accident.

Many large organisations support fully qualified first aiders with Appointed Persons, thus ensuring continuous first aid cover.

Aims and objectives

The aims and objectives of the Appointed Person First Aid course are to provide the attendee with the essential skills required to carry out the emergency skills required to save a life until someone more qualified arrives to take over. 

This course is also the minimum acceptable by the HSE for First Aiders in small low risk companies.

This course is subject to ongoing assessment by the Instructor throughout the course.  There is no final assessment.  The Instructor observes attendees practice sessions as the training progresses to ensure the required level of understanding.

• All successful participants will be awarded a certificate which meets all the requirements for an Appointed Person in the Workplace
