Basic Life Support and First Aid Training

In the event of an emergency, every second is important. At Shreeji Training we offer Life Support and First Aid Training specifically designed for caregivers, healthcare professionals and anyone who needs to prepare for emergencies. In hospitals, care homes or community settings, being able to react appropriately can save lives. Our classes combine theory with practical exercises to make you confident and competent.
What We Offer
The course you take will include:
- Basic Life Support (BLS) – chest compressions, rescue breaths and the use of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs).
- Training in CPR, Recovery and Positioning Skills – ensuring that you know what to do to assist anyone who is unconscious or not breathing.
- The First Aid Basics – treating burns, bleeding, scalds, fractures and other typical emergency situations.
- Emergency Response Procedures – prioritising safety by assessing risk and requesting help efficiently.
- Paediatric Basic First Aid (if necessary) – essential knowledge in emergencies involving children.
- Use of Equipment for First Aid – such as bandages, portable first aid kits, AEDs, gloves, antiseptics and more.
These training sessions are interactive, including manikins, equipment simulations and scenario-based exercises. The first aid training will give you real confidence, so that when you are required to take action, you will be able to.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if I have received life-support training?
The life-support training (or Basic Life Support) teaches people how to carry out CPR, how to use AEDs and how to assist someone who is not breathing or has collapsed until help arrives.
Is first aid training identical to life-saving training?
They overlap. First aid training covers a wider range of emergency situations (bleeding, burns, choking). Life support is a component of it, specifically for critical emergencies such as cardiac arrest.
What’s the duration of the course?
The duration depends on the combination of modules you choose. A typical course may last for one full day, with in-person training and some theory. Blended options may spread it out over several sessions.
Do I receive an official certificate?
Yes. On completing the course, you are awarded an accredited certificate which is valuable for employers, regulatory agencies and to demonstrate your readiness in care or community environments.
Do you offer first aid equipment to practise with?
Yes. Practical sessions are conducted using authentic first aid equipment, such as manikins, AED training kits, mobile kits, gloves, bandages and more. You will gain hands-on experience.
