We offer courses across the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
Please use our online form to specify the first aid training you need and your preferred schedule.
We run up to 2 open first aid courses a month in Fort William, with 12 places on each, for individuals or small groups.
We are often fully booked weeks in advance, but we ALWAYS run an 'open course', even for 1 person.
If your group is small, booking a group course may be cheaper and more convenient.
