We believe it is vitally important that people have the confidence to use their first aid skills without hesitation, wherever and whenever an incident occurs. We provide all students who successfully pass one of our approved first aid courses with ‘Good Samaritan’ insurance cover for the duration of the validity of their training qualification. This insurance covers students against claims arising from first aid they may have delivered outside of their workplace, club or association and not covered by any other insurance.
This insurance is offered at no extra charge, as we are so confident in the standards of our first aid training delivery.
