    Do you work within the childcare industry? I do and we have a department within the council who organise training.

    You should still be entitled to their first aid courses shouldn't you if they run them though? Might be worth giving them a ring on Monday to find out. If you can't find a relevant phone number, it may be worth contacting your local Childrens Information Service.
    I've just read your original post - don't think I would fancy an all day 12 hour First Aid course - far too much information to take in in one go.
    Hope that helps and good luck

  • Try S.H.E, they are excellent.
    Based in Cardiff but work all over the place.
    They may be running a course near you that you can arrange to attend.

    Tell then Simon from Ebbw Vale sent you!

    Is 'SHE' Services in Health Education? If so, they are the ones that deliver our First Aid training. Terry is brilliant! I dread the day when I renew my First Aid and it isn't Terry training us - he has done all three of the courses I have been on.
