First Response Course

First Response Course Overview

The First Response Course is a mandatory requirement for all Scout and Girl Guiding Leaders who wish to gain and maintain a valid warrant. This 1 day course covers everything that scout and guide leaders need to know to be able to assist during an emergency. Good Skills Training is the preferred supplier to Hertfordshire Scouts and we are able to provide references from the Head of Training. We are also the preferred supplier to The Scout Association (Gilwell Park) for First Aid at Work and Health and Safety Training.

Our aim at Good Skills Training is that all learners should enjoy their First Response Course and that by the end of their course all learners should be safe, prompt, effective and confident first aiders in the Scouts and Guides.
