Equip Your Team with Life - Saving Skills in a Child - Focused Setting

Children require constant supervision and a rapid response to injuries or illness. Our training equips teachers, SNAs, carers and school staff with the knowledge and confidence to act effectively - especially when dealing with vulnerable or non - verbal children in early learning or primary education environments.

First Aid Responder (FAR) Training for Schools and Childcare Staff

Recognised standard for workplace first aid in Ireland

FAR training is the national standard for occupational first aid in Ireland and is especially relevant in schools, preschools, and childcare settings. Our instructors deliver this three - day PHECC - accredited course directly at your premises, allowing your team to train together in a familiar space. The course covers CPR, AED use, managing seizures, assessing injuries, and responding to sudden illness in both adults and children. Every participant receives a recognised FAR certificate valid for two years.

Reduce Risk and Respond Confidently in Child - Centred Settings

Tailored safety training for busy classrooms and care rooms

Accidents and medical events are common in childcare and school environments. Our courses ensure staff are prepared to provide immediate, calm, and effective first aid when it matters most. FAR training includes child - specific scenarios, helping your team stay confident when assisting a child who is choking, fainting, or injured. We also offer supplementary courses such as Basic Life Support and manual handling for crèches or centres that require extra coverage.

Stay Compliant with Irish Childcare and Education Regulations

Childcare services and educational institutions in Ireland must meet specific health and safety requirements under Tusla, Department of Education and workplace legislation. FAR training is not only best practice—it is often required when staff are designated as first aiders. Our PHECC - approved training supports full compliance and is delivered by experienced instructors familiar with school and early learning settings. Attendance records and certification are provided for inspection and audit purposes.

Flexible Delivery That Fits the School Calendar

We know that schools and childcare centres operate on strict timetables. That’s why we offer on - site delivery with flexible scheduling around class times, training days or mid - term breaks. Whether you’re a small creche or a large school, we adapt our course delivery to fit your calendar. Training can be delivered over three consecutive days or broken into modules. All equipment, course materials, and manuals are provided.
