Duration: One day
Cost per person: £110 (minimum of 2 students)
One to one tuition: £140
Prerequisites: None
 
24 June 2012 Special Event
Afloat Course aboard Thames Sailing Barge 'Greta'
Cost per person: £160 Limited spaces available
This cost includes the course shown below with practical experience afloat on the barge and our RIB 'Evolution'.
 
This one day course provides training in the essentials of first aid for all those who use the water for leisure and for those who need an appreciation of the difficulties of managing illness and injury in an aquatic environment away from immediate assistance. As such, it is also suitable for RYA instructors who are required to hold a valid first aid certificate.
 
Whitstable Powerboat Training only uses well qualified first aid instructors who are experienced in delivering first aid training for HSE and RLSS UK accredited qualifications. You can be assured that they are specialists in their field and capable of answering your questions with authority and expertise.
 

Course topics include:

  • Managing the unconscious casualty
  • Basic Life Support (CPR)
  • Bleeding
  • Fractures
  • Medical conditions
  • Seasickness
  • Effects of heat, cold and immersion in water
  • Rescue procedures
  • First aid kits (including category C stores if required)

 

Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded an RYA First Aid Certificate valid for three years. Assessment is continuous throughout the course and satisfactory completion is dependent upon full participation and competence in basic life support.

 

It is possible to adapt this course to provide training in the use of emergency resuscitation equipment, including for example oxygen and automated external defibrillators (AEDs), for those specifically involved in activities which have access to this equipment. Similarly we can provide training in the use of spine boards and stretchers if this is required. Additional time and cost may be involved. Please enquire with the principal using the Contact Us page.

 

Should you need an HSE approved qualification such as the Emergency First Aid at Work (one day) or First Aid at Work (three days) please go to the Shoreside Consulting Limited website. Shoreside Consulting Ltd is the parent company of Whitstable Powerboat Training and provides a range of advisory and training services, including all aspects of health and safety at work.

 

 
All course information and training complies with most current guidelines issued by the Resuscitation Council UK and is based on the current issue of the Voluntary Aid Societies First Aid Manual. You will receive a copy of this book as part of the course.
