Emergency First Aid for Teachers and Teaching Staff is an 8 hour course (7 training hours 1 hour breaks) which outlines the duty of care, doing what is reasonable under the circumstances, observing changes in vital signs (Colour, Temp, breathing, response) to decide is it a small or big problem, managing an incident using ABCD, treatments for collapse (recovery position and variations for casualty on front, seated, large/small. injured) treatments for choking and collapse due to choking, treatment for major bleed and shock, best practice for minor commom complaints (burns, blisters, bites, minor bleed) Treatment for non breathing caualty (CPR) with information on variation for children (classed as 1 year until puberty), discussion and information/advice on medical conditions.

The 1 day course aimed at teaching & school staff does not cover all these aspects and cannot substitute for this, however it is aimed at the school environment for general use.

Paedaitric First Aid, 12 Contact Hours, meeting Ofsted and EYFS requirements in England, exceeds Scottish Government requirements. Awarded with a certificate of comptence as course is assessed, awarded by SQA and Ofqual accredited awarding body ITC

First aid for Carers will be as the first aid for schools but will be taught in the context fo the care environment and will cover first aid for wheel chair users, very obese casualties, those with brain damage or dysfunction, brittal bones etc. Again this course cannot substitute for the FAW or EFAW which maybe required for H and S purposes to cover first aid on employees. This course is more aimed at the service users.
