Occupational First Aid Course (Fetac Level 5) in Dublin, Cork and Nationwide
Having staff trained in First Aid will help to reduce the effects and seriousness of any accidents or injuries that occur in the workplace, and will also provide staff with peace of mind. First aid provision is a legal requirement for employers.
This course runs over three full days at our premises in Dublin, Cork, and at other locations around the country. We can also teach in-house if it is more suitable for employees and employers. Our course is externally accredited by FETAC as a Level 5 certificate and is meant for those who intend to act as appointed first aiders in their workplace.
How much does the course cost:
The cost of this course is €300. The cost reflects a high trainer to trainee ratio, an emphasis on small-group learning, and the fact that successful completion leads to FETAC Level 5 and OFA certification, which covers business needs under Health and Safety regulations.
How is it tested?
The course is tested by an theory examination and practical assessment. The Fetac Certificate is valid for two years, with an ongoing option to extend if done so during the life of certification or within 90 days of expiry of current cert.
How long does the course last?
3 days. The course runs starts at 9am to 5pm each day with breaks in between.

Why bother?
Every year there are over 13,000 deaths in Ireland due to circulatory problems most of which are from coronary heart disease. Approximately 50% progress to cardiac arrest within 2 hours. For many victims it is what happens in the first few minutes following a heart attack that will decide their fate. Every two minutes someone, somewhere, has a heart attack.
