We can do that for you!
Need your candidates certified for both Outdoor First Aid and Workplace First Aid? We can arrange a course that combines and covers the requirements for both sets of awards, packaged into one training course.

We can design and structure the course to meet the requirements you need us too, including regulated qualifications where needed.

OF ALL THE PROVIDERS OUT THERE, WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE JURASSIC WATERSPORTS?
Choosing the right First Aid provider can feel tricky. With so many options available, most companies deliver the same syllabus, to the same standards, covering the exact same content.
So, what actually makes a provider different?
The trainers! Their experience, their style and how they teach!
Real Experience, Down-to-Earth Teaching
Our trainers don't just read from a textbook. All our trainers are active and experienced Outdoor Instructors who also serve as operational HM Coastguard Rescue Officers. Our team's background spans outdoor activity leadership, emergency search and rescue, rescue diving, and medical instruction. We bring genuine, real world experience into the room, translating dry regulations into relatable content. All our trainers deliver like humans and always work to make sure every candidate enjoys their course, rather than just ticking a box!
Two Trainers Per Course: Where possible, we deliver our courses with a minimum of two trainers in the room. This gives your candidates more hands-on feedback, greater individual attention, and double the real-world perspective. As well as maximising our quality assurance!
Tailored & Engaging Delivery: We adapt our teaching style around your specific workplace, venue, or industry, making sure candidates can relate to the content and leave feeling like they have actually learnt something!
Flexible Nationwide Scope: Whether you are joining a scheduled public date at our Dorset venue or booking a custom group course delivered directly on-site at your facility anywhere in the UK, we can bring everything needed to you.
