SSI ReAct Right - First Aid, AED and O2
This course provides you with the knowledge and training to act as a first responder and provide first aid and CPR, administer oxygen and / or apply an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) support in a medical emergency.
Learning First Aid could be the difference between someone dying or living. The skills learnt on this course are not just for divers but are transferable skills for everyday life.
NB: If you are looking to book this course and there is only the 31st December showing or the dates advertised do not work for you then either book for the 31st December and we will contact you to discuss dates or contact us to discuss and we will then schedule additional dates to suit.

The Primary and Secondary care sections are undertaken by a combination of classroom teaching with lots and lots of practical practise to allow you the student time to become comfortable with the skill.
