First Person on Scene: First Aid Course
Are you employed in security, close protection, or dangerous, high-risk environments? Does handling life-threatening circumstances require sophisticated medical training? You only need to look at the “First Person on Scene” First Aid Course, which is intended to provide you the fundamental abilities and understanding needed to save lives in difficult circumstances. This comprehensive course equips you with critical skills for emergency response.
Security Industry Authority approved FPOS course
The First Person on Scene qualification, otherwise known as the FPOS course, meets the requirements of the Security Industry Authority (SIA) when applying for a close protection license. While the qualification has been developed for close protection operatives working in the UK and abroad, the knowledge and skills it develops are also ideal for higher risk such as industrial first aiders and those working in remote areas. Students on this course benefit by being prepared to deal with medical and trauma emergencies in a realistic and immersive way that develops their skills and confidence. The Level 3 FPOS course is a four-day program focusing on additional treatment and management of serious incidents and accidents. The course is a more in depth than the First Aid at Work course.
The course includes both theoretical lectures and practical sessions, designed to develop as an all-round first responder. The course includes a range of scenarios to prepare you for managing medical emergencies in high risk or hostile environments.
