First Response

Anyone holding a wood badge role needs to hold a current First Response certificate or equivalent.

If you run adventurous activities and need a 2 day course, please see this post.

We run the six hour first response which comprises two elements:

1. Module 10A - First Aid theory which covers the first aid theory. This can be run face to face or online.
2. Module 10B - First Aid practical is a short 15 minute session covering assessment of a casualty and CPR. This is run face t face only.
