Our SuperMedics courses are designed to teach children the importance and practical methods of first aid. We have designed the course structure and lessons to not only meet, but exceed, the current requirements of the National Curriculum in Personal, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE) education. Our course content is designed around the relevant Key Stage year groups to ensure that children have the knowledge and skills needed to be confident in their actions and to be fully able to deliver first aid, should the need ever arise.
​
Our courses are run by First Aid professionals, who have a wealth of technical and practical knowledge. Many have backgrounds as Community First Responders with the Ambulance Service and Heart Start Tutors.
All staff have Enhanced DBS checks and are fully First Aid trained themselves.
