First Aid Response (PHECC)

Instead of this PHECC-certified course, there is a QQI/FETAC certified ‘Occupational First Aid’ course that is approved by the HSA. Each participant receives a comprehensive First Aid Manual, CPR chart, and CPR mask.

The First Aid Response (PHECC) course equips workplace first aiders with the skills and knowledge to manage medical emergencies. It replaces the QQI/FETAC certified ‘Occupational First Aid’ course as approved by the Health and Safety Authority, covers a variety of topics and ensures participants are equipped to deal with different emergency situations.
