Pre-course Information
Dear Course Member,
Please read the following information carefully, it is designed to ensure that you arrive fully prepared for the course
and achieve the qualification that you require.
Timings
 Day 1 09:30 – 16:30 There is a 15 minute break in the morning and in the afternoon and 30 minutes for
lunch.
You should arrive 15 minutes in advance, ready to start promptly at 09:30. Failure to be present for the required
contact hours is a common reason why candidates are unable to gain the qualification that they require. If you
arrive after 09:30 you will NOT be able to complete the qualification.
Identification
Identity fraud is an issue that we take seriously. When completing the course register on the first day you will be
asked to provide a form of identification. The following methods are all acceptable:
 The individual candidate is part of a group of more then 5 people who can vouch for each other.
 The individual candidate has a signature on a credit card that matches that on the register.
 The individual candidate has photographic id such as driving license or passport.
Please make sure that if you are not part of a group that you bring either a credit card or some from of
photographic id. If no evidence of id is provided the ITC awarding body will be unable to issue a certificate until
identity can be confirmed.

Pre-course Information
HEALTH & SAFETY
Our First Aid training courses are active and practical in nature. If during any part of the practical sessions you feel
uncomfortable or in danger, stop and ask the trainer for guidance.
Always be aware of your back when lifting, your knees when kneeling, and as ever assess your own safety first.
Remember personal hygiene e.g. by making sure you wipe your manikin before use.
If you have any medical conditions or injuries, which could affect your performance, please bring them to the
attention of our trainers at the start of the course.
Course members are expected to behave in a safe reasonable manner towards other participants and equipment.
Be Aware: We talk in detail about injuries and illness that can, in some instances, remind participants of past
events. If you find this happening please bring it to the attention of the trainers sooner rather than later.
Course notes: A full set of course notes are provided. These are designed to save you taking copious notes, and
act as an aid memoir after the course is completed.
If you have any worries, concerns or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to meeting you on the course.
Best Wishes
Jennifer
