Basic Life Support is the only first aid training course that we offer that is not officially recognised by the Health and Safety Executive. Taught to the same high standards, the syllabus is the same as that of the Emergency First Aid at Work (1-day) course, with the exception of Seizures and first aid kits & the reporting of accidents and incidents at work, which are not covered. The full syllabus appears below. Just as in our other courses, the use of an Automatic External Defibrillator is also taught, as these are becoming more easily available nowadays, with good reason: according to the European Resuscitation Council, 93% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims die because defibrillation is not available soon enough.
As such, It is therefore a popular course aimed at any member of the public or organisation, and it is very popular in the care sector. It is designed so that you can learn basic emergency life-saving skills which could be of use in one of these potentially life threatening emergencies. This is a 4-hour course, and as with the other first aid courses we offer, we will cover the entire syllabus, but we can adjust it to focus more on certain subjects depending upon specific needs.
All our First Aid training courses are located in Frome, Somerset.
The cost of Basic Life Support course is £55 per person. If you book more than 5 spaces you can qualify for a discount – please get in touch to find out more. Each course has 8 spaces.

Examples of these include poisoning, suspected spinal injuries, anaphylactic shock, or diabetes. As such, it is considered to be suitable for employers operating in a lower risk environment.
