What? REC1 is a 1 day (8 hour) First Aid course specifically designed to treat casualties in an outdoor recreational setting. You will be trained to treat casualties with various injuries including breaks and cuts as well as treating an unconscious casualty. This includes the practice of CPR and the use of an AED. The course is practical and mainly based outdoors with ongoing assessment which will provide you with certification. This qualification will cover you to administer first aid and complete Risk Assessments in all but the most remote areas which are sport uses.
