Important Information
Equine Specific First Aid Courses and acceptable certificates

From January 2012 we have changed our provider for the ESFA Courses from Pro Medical to SkillBase.  Any certificates issued to end December 2011 from Pro Medical will be valid until their expiry date but for courses attended from January 2012 the only certificates that are acceptable for the BHS Register of Instructors, BHS Exams, BHS Approved Centre staff and UK Coaching Certificates obtained through the BHS are:

- The full HSE authorised First Aid at Work course – this is an initial 3 day course with a 2 day refresher needed every 3 years

- The BHS First Aid course provided by the BHS Training Department using our approved company SkillBase – this is an initial 2 day course with a 1 day refresher needed every 2 years.

We do not accept any other type of first aid certificates (certificates issued internationally from other countries are individually checked).  There are courses provided by other companies and they may say that their course certificate should be acceptable to us.  If you are in any doubt about the validity of a course please check with the Training Department before making your booking.
