The FA Emergency Aid

The Football Association considers it important that each club should have officials trained to deal with first aid and the treatment of injuries. It is strongly recommended that each club has a person in attendance at every game that holds at least the Emergency Aid qualification

This is a three hour workshop which offers basic advice on how to preserve life, limit the effects of an injury and promote recovery. Topics covered include mouth to mouth resuscitation, heart-lung resuscitation, control of bleeding, dressing of wounds, minimising shock, dealing with choking and heart attacks.

The Emergency Aid workshop is a module in all coaching qualifications but separate workshops can also be arranged. If your club has from 8-12 interested people, then a workshop can be organised specifically for you.

You are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing as part of the workshop willinvolve being put into the recovery position. Upon successful completion of the workshop you will recieve a Football Association Emergency Aid Certificate, which is valid for three years.

Renewals
The Emergency First Aid certificate lasts for three years only. If your emergency aid has expired you must attend another course to update your qualification.

Booking Information
The Emergency Aid workshops are offered as part of our level 1 Coaching Course.
In addition we run extra courses for those whose certificates have expired or who wish to act as the team first aider.
