First Aid Training

Voyageur Coaching is able to provide both BCU first aid training and that of a more advanced nature which is accredited through The Emergency Care and Safety Institute. Course duration and format varies according the type of training you require.

Unlike a lot of first aid training these courses are very much designed to be of a practical nature, conducted in the outdoor environment rather than a class room. Very realistic and very practical training.

We are also able to provide HSE compliant first aid courses from 1 to 4 day and refresher days. These are run in association with Achieve EMT. Please contact us for more details.
