This course is a fun and interactive workshop involving practical demonstrations, question and answer sessions and engaging activities, with lots of time for practice and questions. There are no formal tests. Delegates are assessed over the duration of the course.

Known as ‘+F’ this bolt-on course can be added to Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work courses. It can also be run as a stand-alone upskill course for delegates that hold existing, valid Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work qualifications.

The Forestry Commission requires that contractors, hauliers and others wishing to work on Forestry Commission land need to show that they comply with their first aid policy, by holding the appropriate certificate, with evidence of the ‘+F’ upskill.
