We are delighted to offer First Aid, and Short Range VHF Courses, tailored to suit the needs of Instructors and Pleasure Boaters alike.

First Aid Course

 This intensive course, run over two weeknight evenings gives the participant an excellent overview of how to effectively administer First Aid. The course leader is a practising paramedic, and thus has an unrivalled knowledge of the area. The pragmatic and hands-on nature of the course uses the most up-to-date teaching methods to give you the best possible footing in First Aid.


Another excellent feature of this course is the watersports module, which is built in to the second evening of the course. Designed for watersports enthusiasts, this module is invaluable for aspiring instructors and pleasure boaters alike.
