First aid

<< View courses >>

Whitlingham Outdoor Education Centre is approved to run Rescue Emergency Care (REC) first aid courses. REC courses are delivered to introduce candidates to a first aid training programme which is innovative, practical and fun to learn.

Courses are designed to introduce a systematic method of first aid for managing casualties. The courses are a balance of learning and practical, inter-mixed with scenarios of real situations. REC is a national scheme recognised by the Health and Safety Executive and courses are approved by National Governing Bodies ie RYA/BCU/MLTB.

Certificates are awarded to successful candidates and are valid for a period of 3 years. "People don't come to REC to learn about First Aid...They come to us to learn how to do it!"

*No previous experience is required.

REC L1 - Basic First Aid - essential skills to deal with an incident and use a basic first aid kit when help is delayed.
REC L2 - Emergency First Aid - developing essential skills to deal with more difficult incidents when there is no immediate help.
REC L3 - First Aid at work – training to identify when to give immediate treatment and where further help is needed.
