Teesside First Aid

I am offering accredited first aid training in Teesside and the surrounding areas for individuals, businesses, schools, nursery's and other organisations. My training is accredited by Ofqual & TQUK and as such my training is subject to inspection and quality control to ensure I am delivering current best practices.

I can also offer bespoke first aid training to suit your requirements; however these courses are not accredited although I can issue in-house certificates if needed.

My wife is a child-minder and I am her assistant so I have first-hand knowledge and experience of what it is like to look after young people.

I do have some fixed course dates but I can be flexible if you need a course running outside these dates so it can work for your requirements. As I am freelance instructor I have no fixed premises and I can travel to run the course at your office, home for childminders etc. I only require a room with a blank wall to run the projector onto and for all courses.

I require a minimum of 6 candidates for some courses, and lower for some other courses; but this can be looked on a case by case basis. The stipulated upper limit is 12. I do have access to a function room for my fixed date courses where tea and coffee is provided but not lunch if we are on a full day course. However you can bring a packed lunch or there are places get lunch nearby.

Payments can be made in cash, major credit and debit cards or by BACS transfer.

I have been independently assessed for knowledge and competence in the subject of First Aid and successfully delivered a minimum of 2 first aid teaching presentations which included demonstrations and theoretical knowledge based on subjects taken from the 3 Day First Aid at Work Course.

I have also demonstrated competency in first aid assessment, evaluating first aid candidates and completing peer evaluations while observing other candidates' presentations.

Prior to my course, I completed a 9 hour video course which included adult, child, infant and AED skills provided by ProTrainings. As a ProTrainings instructor, I will be will be completing an annual skill evaluation with another instructor in addition to ensuring continuing professional development using ProTrainings video based e-learning, ProTrainings instructor updates and attending webinars and training events provided by ProTrainings.

I have also completed training in the regulated system, centre management, recording learning outcomes, assessment criteria and the internal/external verification process. By using the ProTrainings system, I will be able to manage and regulate my learners, enabling me to pass any verification process.

As part of my role as an instructor and other work roles, I have experience in all forms of customer service. This experience includes talking to customers/colleagues on the phone and face to face discussions.

And as part of my teaching role, I am involved with problem solving, communication, and delivering training.
