Our specialist courses are for sports and fitness professionals, therapists, training schools, sports clubs, colleges and universities.
Our Advanced Sports First Aid Diploma (3 days) will teach participants to manage any emergency medical situation that they may encounter in a sporting environment to pre hospital trauma level.
   
The one day First Aid for Therapists and Fitness Instructors course is very popular. The course covers all the basics of the Appointed Person and includes additional modules in blood pressure monitoring, anaphylactic shock, allergic reactions and other areas of relevance to therapists and personal trainers.
We also offer a one day traing course in the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) that can be used in the home, in offices, schools, sports clubs and fitness centres. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, the First Aider with access to an AED could save a life in the crucial moments before the ambulance arrives.
Direct First Aid is run by teachers of Complementary Therapy and experienced First Aiders who well understand the health issues that might arise in clinics, salons, spas and fitness centres or the sports injuries that might occur on or off the field. All our instructors are fully experienced and qualified to HSE standards and our courses are accredited by the CThA. We are members of the Association of First Aiders (AoFA) and our courses have been awarded continuing professional development (CPD) credits by the CThA, (the Complementary Therapists Association)
