Injuries such as sprains, fractures, cuts and grazes are common in sporting activities. That’s why we created the Sports First Aid course, which teaches delegates basic first aid skills and how to treat these injuries.
The course covers first aid response to a variety of injuries and is suitable for anyone involved in any sport.
This training course is ideal for anyone involved in any sporting activities. Examples include if you are a sports coach or volunteer. You may also consider this course if you are a PE teacher in school or a personal trainer.
Delegates are assessed by our highly experienced St John Ambulance Cymru trainers in line with current HSE guidelines.
On successful completion of this training, delegates will receive a sports first aid certificate. This certification is valid for three years. After this, you will need to take the course again.
