FORESTRY (+F) FIRST AID

Emergency First Aid at Work (+F), First Aid at Work (+F), First Aid at Work Re-qualification (+F)

All of our standard workplace First Aid courses can be delivered in an Outdoor/Forestry context for remote sites so they’re completely purposeful.

The Forestry Commission recommends that Forestry and Arboriculture workers complete additional training in addition to the standard HSE compliant workplace First Aid courses. The additional training is specifically designed for people who work in remote environments with machinery.

These courses are also suitable for Forestry and Fencing Contractors, Stalking Contractors, Arborists/Tree Surgeons and anyone working on Forestry Commission land or rural contracts.

Course Requirements

How are our courses delivered?

All of our courses are hands-on. We’ll show you how to do something – then you’ll have a go. We’ll practice how to deal with whole incidents, from finding someone in need to the point where they’re handed over to the professionals. After all, when someone becomes ill or is injured, you’ll need to manage the whole incident – not just be able to perform a couple of stand alone skills.

What our customers say

“By far the best First Aid course I’ve attended. Incomparable to others I’ve experienced and totally tailored to my needs. Lovely course leaders. Expertly delivered. Fun!”
