Which First Aid course do I need for an SIA course?

Emergency First Aid at Work is the requirement for most licence-linked courses. Close Protection requires a higher level, typically First Aid at Work or equivalent.

Can I book on to a course as a single paying customer?

Yes, that's no problem at all. In fact, we would love to see you on one of our courses.
