- Here in the US the Red Cross and YMCA teach first aid classes like those you mention.
Additionally, as a young man, I can remember being in the boy scouts. I know it sounds corney, but I learned SO much, including first-aid.
Good luck! - Check with your local Red Cross chapter.
- Hi
I am a member of St John Ambulance, so of course there is only that organisation that I am going to recommend to you. If you are truly interested in First Aid, then why not look on the website and find a Division that is near to where you live. You only give them as much of your time as you can spare and for that you will get free training in all aspects of first aid, from the basics, to as far as you want to take it. In return you can give some of your spare time to go out on duty and help members of the public.
If you only want basic first aid training, then some Divisions do free Public first aid courses from time to time.
I find it a very rewarding hobby, so give it a try.
Good luck. - I run a First Aid at Work course with my company. I dont charge my employees unless they leave within 6 months of doing the course. I do OCCASIONALLY get outsiders and I do charge. We are based in Enfield.
If you want any more details email me

- Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
no you can not be sued if you are rendering aid to someone that is injured (the burning car). there is a law called the good samaritan law that in laymans terms says if you render aid to someone and that person can not sue you for aiding them. good luck - Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
if you are First Aid certified you can’t be sued. There’s something called a Good Samartian Law that protects people, the important thing to remember is not to anything you’re not qualified to do and if the person is conscieous ask if you can help them first. - Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
There are many laws protecting a bystander giving first aid. If there are no trained professionals around, and they won’t get there in time, then yes by all means save the person. I would rather not be able to walk than die. If you want a better answer, I suggest talking to an ambulance administrator. I think if someone tried to sue you in this case, the judge would probably throw it out. Be sure to ask about a good samaritan law - Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
People can (and will!) sue for just about any excuse- including some that are flat-out stupid.
But yes, there is a good-Samaritan law out there to help protect against that particular kind of litigation. - Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
Yes, you can be sued for providing aid to a person that winds up injured because of your good efforts if you weren’t properly trained.
There are good samaritan laws to protect people who are only trying to help, but you have to read them. Sometimes in some instances they only protect First response physicians and emergency crews, and not the everyman.

Why not enrol with the British Red Cross. It is a good organisation, you can make friends there, and learn first aid. They have branches in most major towns so check them out.

Give Waltham Forest College a phone call. They have night classes for First Aid – classes of about 8 adults…………… bus from Hale End straight there…………….

It depends on what kind of course you are after. My local college does a course for £49. It teaches you the basics but you don’t end up a qualified first aider. St Johns also do a course. Details of the course and the nearest venue can be found on the internet
