How long is the First Aid for Teachers course in Wrexham?

Our Wrexham First Aid for Teachers course runs as a single day of training totalling 6 hours of guided learning. It can be delivered on an INSET day, after school across two shorter sessions, or during the school holidays to suit your timetable.

Who should attend first aid training for school staff in Wrexham?

The course is designed for teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors, SENDCOs, school office and pastoral staff, lunchtime supervisors, PE and sports staff, and school trip leaders across Wrexham. Most schools train a wide group of staff so trained first aiders are always close at hand.

Does this course meet DfE guidance for first aid in schools?

Yes. Our First Aid for Teachers course in Wrexham is aligned with the Department for Education's guidance on first aid in schools and the HSE's general first aid at work requirements, with content tuned specifically to the school environment. We deliver this first aid for teachers course in Wrexham regularly, with classroom dates near the A483 / Deeside corridor for employers across Wales.

What topics are covered for Wrexham teachers and school staff?

The Wrexham course covers the unresponsive casualty, CPR for children and adults, choking, asthma and inhaler use, anaphylaxis and adrenaline auto-injectors (EpiPen), seizures, head injuries, bleeding control, burns, fractures, and diabetic emergencies. Practice is scenario-based using realistic school situations.

How long is the first aid certificate valid for?

Your first aid certificate is valid for three years. We recommend that Wrexham school staff complete an annual short refresher to keep skills, confidence, and protocols fresh between full courses. Learners from Wrexham Industrial Estate and the wider Wrexham area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

Is first aid training a legal requirement for schools in Wrexham?

Schools in Wrexham have a duty of care to pupils, staff, and visitors, and must follow the DfE's guidance on first aid in schools alongside HSE first aid at work requirements. While the exact number of trained first aiders is set by a school's own needs assessment, having a well-trained core team is considered essential good practice.

Can the course be delivered at our school in Wrexham?

Yes. We can deliver the First Aid for Teachers course directly at your primary, secondary, SEN, or independent school in Wrexham. On-site training saves staff travel time and lets the tutor tailor scenarios to your own classrooms, playground, hall, and trip arrangements.

How is this different from EFAW or full Paediatric First Aid?

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a general workplace course, and Paediatric First Aid is the longer 2-day qualification aimed at EYFS early years settings. Our First Aid for Teachers course in Wrexham sits between the two: a 1-day course tuned to the school-age environment, covering both child and adult casualties and the conditions teachers actually see in school. Learners from the A483 / Deeside corridor and the wider Wrexham area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

How many staff can attend one course in Wrexham?

Group sizes for our Wrexham First Aid for Teachers courses are typically up to 12 participants per tutor, which keeps the practical sessions hands-on. For whole-school INSET days we can scale up with additional tutors so larger teams can train together.

Are there public courses near me in Wrexham?

Yes. We run regular First Aid for Teachers courses at accessible venues in and around Wrexham, with good parking and public transport links. You can view upcoming dates and book online, or contact us to arrange a dedicated course at your school.

When should we renew first aid training for Wrexham school staff?

Renew your first aid training before the three-year certificate expires. We send reminder notifications to past participants in Wrexham, and most schools build refreshers into their INSET calendar so a rolling cohort is always in-date.

Do PE teachers and trip leaders in Wrexham need anything extra?

PE staff, outdoor learning leads, and trip leaders in Wrexham often need extra confidence with head injuries, fractures, exercise-induced asthma, and remote-from-help scenarios. Our tutors can weight the practical sessions toward these situations on request, especially for school-trip and residential prep.

What do attendees need to bring on the day in Wrexham?

No specialist equipment is needed. We provide all training manikins, AED trainers, bandages, and EpiPen trainers. Participants on the Wrexham course should wear comfortable clothing suitable for kneeling and floor work. A notepad and pen are useful for personal notes.
