Why First Aid Training Matters for Schools

Schools are dynamic environments where accidents and emergencies can happen at any moment—from playground injuries to sudden medical incidents. Having trained first aiders on-site is not just a legal requirement for many schools, but also a vital step in creating a safe and supportive learning environment. Our Qualsafe-accredited courses provide practical, hands-on training that prepares your staff to act swiftly and confidently when it matters most.
