The Essentials Course — 2 hours of first aid everybody needs
Paramedic curated, two hours, no assessment — just the skills most likely to save a life, taught in a way you'll remember.
Our market research told us the two things that stop people getting first aid training: it takes too long, and it costs too much. The Essentials Course is our answer — designed by a paramedic to cover the highest-impact skills in a single two hour session.
There's no exam and no pressure. Just hands on practice of the things that actually save lives, taught with real stories from the road. It's our most popular session for social groups, families and workplace lunch-and-learns.
