First Aid Courses for the Community We have a suite of First Aid training courses aimed specifically at improving vital life-saving skills in the home and the community. St John Ambulance welcomes young people from the age of 12 onto all our community first aid courses. If under the age of 16 , you must attend with a responsible adult member of the family or guardian (two young people per adult). Adults, children, teenagers, parents, grandparents and community groups are all able to learn First Aid. Candidates will be taught what to do in an emergency – from minor incidents and injuries to life-threatening conditions and situations. You don’t have to learn CPR or resuscitation techniques if you don’t want to but they are available on some courses should you require it. You can train on a scheduled course, as a family or as a club. If required, the courses can be tailored to meet your specific needs or those of your interest group.
