CPD Certified Training Approved by Skills for Care

The Girlguiding First Response (VTQ) qualification encompasses a comprehensive First Aid syllabus including Adult, Child and Infant resuscitation for those who do not require the HSE First Aid at Work course. This course is great for guides, scouts, families or anyone who needs comprehensive first aid training. This course covers all aspects of first aid and is an ideal source of reference for many conditions.


First Aid training is not only a good life skill for everyone to learn but also a required mandatory subject needed annually in many professions. The Girlguiding Responder course is our most comprehensive course, covering a wide variety of primary and secondary care subjects.


We include in the course Child and Infant skills to teach the students the difference in first aid for treating different ages.


All our first aid courses are designed to meet the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines and HSE requirements.
