First Aid on Locations training in Bristol.

First Aid on Locations training is designed for production teams working away from the office or studio. Whether filming or recording, this course is aimed at groups that will still be able to call for an ambulance but which may experience a delay in it arriving.

Below you can find out more about the course, but the important news is that the First Aid on Locations training course is now open for bookings in Bristol, with the next course with spaces being in January 2022. For years now, we have been running this course “on-site” for individual production companies, but now we are offering an “open” course. This course is “open” to all, so smaller production companies that might want to only train one or two people can now affordably access this training.

The course can be adapted, but the core syllabus meets [and exceeds] the HSEs requirements for workplace first aid.

This first aid on locations course is highly practical and reflects our #trainforreal and “first aid is a contact sport” mantras. Delegates are faced with scenarios involving casualty simulation including fake blood.
