Susi and the team were excellent. The facilities and location for our very first time on SUPs were great. We had a blast!




We proudly offer comprehensive First Aid training in East Lothian, tailored for outdoor professionals and adventure enthusiasts. Our First Aid + F Courses, available as both a 3-day First Aid at Work +F (FAW+F) course and a 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work +F (EFAW+F) course, are designed to provide essential knowledge and skills for those in high-risk environments or seeking a fundamental understanding of outdoor first aid.
Each day of the course runs from 9 am to 5 pm and includes tea/coffee, refreshments, and lunch. The courses are designed to be interactive with a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. Participants will leave with a First Aid certificate and manual, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle first aid situations in outdoor settings.
Both courses provide an in-depth understanding of first aid, with the FAW+F course focusing on prolonged care in remote settings and the EFAW+F course covering fundamental first aid skills. The '+F' aspect highlights forestry first aid, with a particular focus on outdoor-specific injuries and emergencies. Participants will engage in realistic, scenario-based practices, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of emergency response and patient care.
Our courses are hosted at our base, a cosy, renovated Victorian stable surrounded by woodlands near the coast. This unique setting enhances the learning experience with realistic emergency scenarios. We also offer the flexibility to conduct training at your location for group qualifications.
We will meet at our base at Hedderwick Hill Stables, by Belhaven, Dunbar, EH42 1XF (signposted Hedderwick Hill Farm off the A1087) at 9am each day.
Accommodation is not included in this course, allowing you the flexibility to choose lodgings that suit your preferences and budget.
Participants should be at least 18 years of age. The courses are suitable for both beginners and experienced individuals seeking first-aid knowledge, especially in outdoor and remote settings.
We combine professional-level training with practical, real-world scenarios, particularly tailored for outdoor environments. Our experienced instructors are dedicated to providing a thorough understanding of first aid techniques and principles, ensuring that participants are well-prepared for emergency situations. The course includes a First Aid certificate, manual, and refreshments, offering a comprehensive package for anyone looking to enhance their first aid skills.
Join us for an invaluable learning experience that equips you to handle emergencies with confidence and competence.
