New courses and developments at High Peak First Aid
We have the return of our networking events as the trials we ran proved very successful for everyone concerned and the charities we support. We also offer course members the chance to return on the second day of our High Peak First Aid – Wilderness First Aid Course for free! It is not mandatory for you to refresh in the three year period, however we find people like to attend to refresh knowledge and prepare for assessments such as Walking Group Leader – WGL, Basic Expedition Leader Award – BELA, SPA – Single Pitch Award, to name a few. We have a packed year ahead and will keep you posted with regular updates.
High Peak Wilderness First Aid update!
We are having a 15 year celebration of providing first aid courses by offering past and future clients a great service and value for money when you book a training course with us. Our first offer of 2012 is for all past and future clients on our High Peak Wilderness First Aid Course. Once you have completed the first aid course it will last for three years before you need to renew the qualification. Currently, there is no mandatory refresher. However, we offer you the opportunity to attend the second day of the High Peak Wilderness First Aid Course at any time in the three year period for free. This will enable you to refresh your skills and feel more confident to deal with an incident in a remote location. It would also be useful for you to attend if you are going for an assessment with the British Canoe Union – BCU, Mountain Leader Training Association – MLTA, Mountain-Bike Instructors’ Award Scheme – MIAS and British Caving Association – BCA. These are just a few examples of the national organisations that recognise our first aid training courses. We can also give you up to date advice on what to have in a first aid kit and equipment to carry to deal with an emergency when help may be delayed. We also have a range of tough, waterproof manuals, casualty card and and rescue request forms to make your life easier.
If you are not attending the High Peak Wilderness First Aid course we have other packages for all the courses that we offer – I will be posting regular updates here, on our High Peak First Aid Trainings Face Book Page and on our Twitter Account as HighPeak1stAid.
New Wilderness First Aid Courses for High Peak First Aid
Over the next two weeks we are bringing out our new ‘High Peak Wilderness First Aid’ Courses. We will have courses ranging from one day through to five days – all supported with our range of waterproof manuals to ensure you can deal with an incident in any environment. The courses are recognised by National Governing Bodies so if you are a caver, paddler, mountainbiker or mountaineer we can provide you with a suitable course. We will also have first aid courses to enable you to work with expeditions that have a core competencies associated with leadership and management.
15 Year Celebration!
Thank you! We have now been providing courses for 15 years! From a business point of view I have been looking forward to the start of 2012 as plans for the year started last summer. During January we are rolling out new courses, additions to our training team and we are also adding value in many forms for returning and new clients – I will be announcing updates here!
The last 15 years has been a very interesting journey for High Peak First Aid and for myself as the Company Director. A client recently asked me if I ever get bored running courses. Simply…no! Every course is different due to the varied individuals who attend – everyone on a course has qualities to contribute and we aim to draw those together, add our input and send you off to be qualified to deal with an emergency if it should arise.
The chances of you being involved in a serious emergency are relatively low. However, compared to the staggering amount of hours our training team has supplied to you over 15 years we have a lot of thank you letters and emails from people that have had to deal with major emergencies where their training has really helped.
