We are delighted to announce that both Tia and Lisa have attended and passed their British Red Cross emergency first aid at work course.
Tia and Lisa have the ability and confidence to use first aid skills in a real-life situation, after being assessed using a range of practical demonstrations. They took part in question-and-answer sessions, quizzes and roleplay, designed to coach and support them over the six-hour course, with continuous observation and questioning.
