Loving all the courses! Do they carry cpd points??
We’re glad you have enjoyed our free first aid courses. Unfortunately, our courses are not accredited. We would advise attending a practical first aid course in your local area.
Thanks,

This a very informative and useful link for learning First aid at home without attending regular classes. I completed all these courses and really enjoyed and learnt a lot. Being HSE Professional, I will recommend everybody to go through these courses at free times as these courses will further boost your knowledge and can help save someones life.

I needed to review for my exam and this really helped ….the information is straightforward and when compare to me AHA student guide book the information is the same
These courses are so useful. Thank you! Really clear information. Everyone should learn this. I’ll share the link to my family and friends and spread the word.
I found some. VERY interesting and subtle changes in this course. While your disclaimer points out these courses are no substitute for practical programs, I found the material invaluable nonetheless. Thanks so much!
