How you will be assessed
-
Assessment Through Action: There is no written exam at the end of this course. Instead, your instructor will assess your skills throughout the course. We believe your ability to bandage a wound in the rain is a much better measure of success than a multiple-choice paper.
-
Feedback in Real-Time: Because the assessment is ongoing, you’ll receive immediate, constructive coaching after each scenario, allowing you to refine your technique and build confidence before the course ends.

One Course, Multiple Qualifications
Many roles today require more than one First Aid certificate. To save you time and money, we offer the opportunity to gain additional qualifications alongside your core training. Rather than attending multiple separate courses, you can complete the extra requirements during your session for a small administrative fee. It’s the most efficient way to ensure you are fully compliant across all your professional duties.

Choosing the Right First Aid Qualification for Your Brighton Organisation
Finding the correct tier of workplace compliance depends entirely on your industry and risk assessment. Across Brighton and Hove, we tailor our immersive, hands-on casualty simulations to the specific needs of local sectors:
-
Corporate Offices, Creative Hubs & Tech Sectors: For lower-risk office environments in central Brighton, the North Laine, or near the seafront, the 1-Day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) ensures your designated team members can confidently manage sudden illness, bleeding, and CPR protocols.
- Education, Nurseries & Early Years Providers: Local schools, preschools, and independent childminders in Brighton require Paediatric First Aid built around strict Ofsted frameworks. Our training swaps out dry presentations for high-impact practical scenarios, teaching educators how to maintain genuine composure during an emergency.
-
Outdoor Activities, Eco-Tourism & South Downs Forestry: With the South Downs on our doorstep, Brighton has a thriving community of outdoor professionals, trail guides, and forest school leaders. We provide specialized 16-Hour Outdoor First Aid and Workplace First Aid +F qualifications, arming remote workers with the long-term casualty care skills needed when emergency responses are delayed by terrain.
