Bite Size First Aid - Course Overview

This short, bite sized training session is designed as a taster in emergency first aid procedures for adults, children, and babies. It provides a simple introduction to managing common first aid situations, helping participants feel more confident responding in the early stages of an incident.

Training covers how to manage a first aid incident, place an unconscious casualty into the recovery position, perform CPR for adults, children, and babies, and recognise and respond to choking and seizures. A question-and-answer session is also included, giving participants the chance to clarify key points and build understanding in a relaxed learning environment.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for anyone looking for a basic introduction to first aid, including parents, carers, workplace staff, and individuals with little or no previous first aid experience.

It works well as a taster for those considering more in-depth first aid training in the future, offering a good starting point before progressing to courses such as Emergency First Aid at Work or Emergency Paediatric First Aid.

Claire, Loughborough
Trainer made the subjects easy to follow and explained things very well. Brian made everyone feel at ease so doing the practicals was more relaxed and easy to follow. I felt the assessments throughout were thorough but not intimidating.

Ann Cooper,
Just completed a 3 day course and would like to thank Mick for all his hard work. His delivery and instruction was precise however it was his humour and friendliness which made it memorable. He gave us all so much confidence and assistance , I feel properly trained to cope with anyone needing first aid. Can't thank you enough Mick. See you in 3 years.
First Aid at Work course
I consider that the First Response (First Aid) trainer, both as a personality, together with his presentation style, as like a breath of fresh air to the first aid teaching industry.

Mick & Alex were absolutely brilliant - they made a topic that could have dragged, feel lively and fun. The trainers were so friendly & entertaining, I definitely think I've learned a lot and I'll remember it if I needed it !

I found this course engaging. The trainer was professional, but approachable and friendly allowing me to feel comfortable to ask questions and be involved. The use of videos helped to see real situations - GREAT IDEA !!

While I think about it, I just want to take the time to pass on my thanks to everyone at FRFA. Every time I organise a course here at the Loughborough Learning Alliance, I always think about providing feedback but then forget or never get around to it - I'm so sorry! I want to say thank you to all of you for the amazing work you do. From the initial enquiry, which is handled so well and quickly, up to the end of the day when the course has finished, the service is absolutely amazing and faultless. Each and every one of your trainers are just such fantastic people, and I can honestly say, it's such a pleasure for them to come and facilitate courses for all our local Schools. They are always so friendly and so happy in their jobs! I think they all have a great sense of humour too. Every single person who books the courses always has such great feedback at the end of the day. I would honestly never use a different First Aid company for all of our training. If we don't have a course coming up, I'll always go on your website and find a local Open Course for them and pass on the recommendation. Keep up the amazing work, thank you! Kind Regards Jess

Brian & Mick were excellent ! They held my interest by giving a confident presentation and with added humour. They made me feel at ease and well informed. Will definitely recommend. (Lunch was lovely too - I'm calorie counting and there was plenty for me to choose from.)

Thank you very much for the 2 free free first aid courses the parents found them to be very useful and were surprised how much was covered in such a short time. The delivery was amazing (parents words) and very informative. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future.
