Course Details
Anyone employed in the workplace or a sporting environment may be called upon to give first aid in an emergency. It is inevitable that, at times, there will be accidents and injuries.
This course is intended for anyone involved in sport or the workplace, and in any capacity whether as an employee, coach, trainer, player, sports therapist, or physiotherapist. The training is structured to offer practical tuition on how to administer immediate injury care in a safe and approved manner with some additional emphasis on joint and muscle injuries in sport.
