Mediarb, in collaboration with Honey Brothers LTD, presents an essential 1-day Arborist First Aid Course designed specifically for professionals in the forestry sector. This comprehensive program offers a Level 3 Emergency First Aid certification, along with the +F Forestry Certification, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to handle medical emergencies in outdoor and forestry environments.
The aim of this qualification is to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to deal with emergency first aid situations within forestry and agriculture environments. This qualification is designed to supplement a First Aider’s existing First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification and covers the recommended topics stated in the Forestry Commission First Aid policy 2015.
Upon successful completion, students will be awarded an industry-recognized qualification and + F Forestry Certification, which is often a requirement to work for some arb companies.
So whether you’re just starting out in the industry, or topping up pre-existing qualifications, you’ll find this course valuable and thought-provoking.
If you have any queries about the course, or would like to discuss booking in a large group, please drop an email to [email protected].
