Our one day course covers all the usual first aid subjects, but from a boating perspective. It is aimed at anyone who goes afloat, whether on inland waters, rivers, estuaries or on cross channel passages.
The syllabus is based on recommendations of the Health and Safety Executive and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
