Since 1993 the FA has provided the Emergency Aid course. From this, it has been identified the need for a more comprehensive First Aid course, to provide a person with the knowledge and skills to deal with injuries that occur on the field of play from the minor to the severe.
The FA Basic First Aid for Sport course will enable you to identify these injuries and deliver the knowledge and skills required to treat them. Who is the course for? This is a comprehensive course aimed at managers, coaches, trainers or therapists for amateur and youth football clubs and for teachers responsible for school teams. The course is designed for all levels of football and other sports and will provide participants with the opportunity to gain fundamental knowledge and skills in order to recognise and manage common injuries sustained in football and other sports and administer immediate emergency first aid and care. Tutors : Kelvin Wagner and Steve Quinton
