These courses are designed for everyone who wants to learn first aid skills focussed on the sorts of injuries and accidents that happen around horses. Why not come along? Who know, it may give you the skills to save a life. ESFAC 2 day initial course: attend this course if you have never had any first aid training, or your qualification has lapsed by more than one day. Numbers will be limited to allow ample time to learn and practice your new skills. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate valid for 2 years.

ESFAC 1 day refresher course: if you already hold a First Aid at Work or ESFAC qualification you need to attend  a refresher every 2 years to keep it up to date.  This is mandatory for all registered instructors and is highly recommended for others involved with horses. If your certificate has lapsed, you need to attend the 2 day course.

GOOD NEWS for those wishing to do their ESFAC in Scotland - ILA funding opportunities now available. To find out more click here.
