If you have a need for specific First Aid courses, for example if most of your employees work in the countryside or out on the hills (Forestry Commission, ghillies, deer stalkers, etc.) or if they work in water logged areas (dam inspector, sewage workers, etc.) you may require training relevant to the conditions which your workforce experience. If so, just ask for a course to be tailored to your needs.
