The QA Level 2 Award in Activity First Aid (QCF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification designed for those who have a responsibility to provide first aid in outdoor and activity based environments. Successful candidates will gain the knowledge and skills needed to treat a range of conditions that could occur during any form of activity, from life threatening illnesses to minor injuries. SafeSavvy can tailor courses to match your specific situation and requirements. For example we often show how to treat a casualty who may be wearing special equipment such as helmets. We can take extra focus on those certain injuries that are most likely to occur and ensure you have an even greater understanding on how to respond if the need ever arises.
