All the first aid training provided at Plas y Brenin is offered under the authority of Rescue Emergency Care (REC). The courses are conducted according to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations. REC provides a national structure in which trainers can work while enhancing courses by using their own experiences and expertise. This allows Plas y Brenin to run courses specifically for the outdoor mountain and water environment. The emphasis on these courses is in practically based training which will provide knowledge and confidence. These courses will not turn you into a medical encyclopaedia but they will give you the strategies you need to manage properly in an emergency.

 Plas y Brenin runs a First Aid at Work course over 4 days and not 3 due to the extensive outdoor content. The course follows the HSE syllabus but with a clear emphasis on the outdoor environment. Practical scenarios and class based sessions are followed by a formal, independent assessment of skills and knowledge. The holder of this certificate can then be recognised as the First Aider at Work and is able to organise the first aid provision at work according to HSE guidelines. This certificate is required by all first aid trainers. It also validates Governing Body Awards.
