First Aid “+F” Bolt-On
We offer several versions of the “first aid +f” course, but some people just need to add the “+F” element to their existing first aid qualification.
Welcome to the half-day “First Aid “+F” Bolt-On” course.
This course cover the specific additional elements required by the Forestry Commission in their first aid policy, with regards to their “Core operations” of “harvesting, civil engineering, mechanised ground preparation, planting, fencing, pesticides application, forest nursery activities, or similar.”
The “+F Bolt-On course” is ideally for those who hold an existing in-date first aid qualification, but who need to have a “+F first aid certificate” so that they can access Forestry Commission land (for Deer stalking, etc) or undertake commercial arboricultural contracts, etc. However the course can be undertaken by anyone looking for this specific learning.
