These courses cover essential skills such as CPR, wound care, handling various medical emergencies and recognition of mental health conditions.

Safety: Ensures individuals can provide immediate care in emergencies, potentially saving lives.
Compliance: Helps organisations meet legal and regulatory requirements for workplace safety.
Preparedness: Equips people with the skills to handle unexpected medical situations effectively and support individuals with mental health challenges.
Awareness: Raises awareness about mental health issues and reduces stigma.
