BLS in Schools – Sports: Secondary Schools

Course duration and objective

This course is 3 hours

With over 20 years’ experience working in schools, we can offer specialist courses for the different aspects of school life. This course is aimed at staff who spend most of their time in a sports environment. We train candidates how to assess if a casualty is not breathing and how to perform CPR. We’ll also show you how a defibrillator can help with CPR. We know this can be very stressful so we’ll also give you some guidance on how to cope and how to manage a situation like this. We will then train you in some of the typical injuries or illness that occur during sports.
