Overview - First Aid Responder (FAR)

The Health & Safety Authority (HSA) now recognizes the PHECC First Aid Response (FAR) training course as meeting the needs of occupational first aid. The FAR Standard was developed by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) an independent statutory body who set the standards for education and training for pre-hospital emergency care in Ireland.

All our instructors have a valid FAR instructor certificate and are vastly experienced in the delivery of First Aid training in the workplace.
