About our First Aid courses
We run first aid courses at Penistone Leisure Centre several times per year. This enables our volunteers to gain the qualification, and so keep all of the centre users safe.
We usually have spare places, which we offer to other people at a cost of £40, including a buffet lunch.
The courses are usually run on a Sunday and last 6 hours, excluding lunch and breaks.
Certification: Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate. (FAIB) which is valid for 3 years. These will be posted out to you after successful completion of the course.
