Now, this is not an art course, but it is relevant to us all so please keep reading!
Meet Jane Ferrett – she’s great. When Jane is not being an aspring artist here at the Phoenix, she teaches first aid training to the masses. We were chatting a while ago and she very kindly offered to train the Phoenix Team. It’s a case of the more the merrier though, so we are opening it up to you to attend!
On this one-day course, Jane will provide First Aid Training for the attendees, doing so at a very generous price (half the cost of what you can get elsewhere).
Having knowledge of first aid training is something you hope you never need to use in reality, but when you need it, you will never be more grateful for knowing what you do. We should all be confident, capable, and prepared to save a life. Whether you work with children, manage teams, operate in a high-risk environment, or simply want the skills to act in an emergency, this course delivers the essential First Aid training every responsible adult should have.
