Learn life-saving skills with the British Red Cross


30,000 people sustain a cardiac arrest outside hospital each year and quick use of an AED (within 3-5 minutes) can lead to survival rates of 50 to 75 per cent.* When used alongside CPR, an AED provides an unresponsive person who is not breathing with the best possible chance of survival.


The Red Cross has now introduced competency based AED training as part of its one day emergency first aid, two day first aid requalification and three day first aid at work courses.


There is often a misconception that only those industries classed as high hazard have a need for an AED machine, but a cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time regardless of the industry that they work in. The Red Cross is working in trusted partnership with the Federation of Window Cleaners to offer its members quality first aid training that helps reduce risk and most importantly saves lives in the workplace.


The benefits of training with the Red Cross include:


• Conveniently located network of 180 UK training venues – national coverage delivered locally


• Free and unique on-going support through the Safe Hands community


• A commitment to the latest first aid learning tools • A practical hands on approach to deliver confidence and skills


• Training at a time that suits you – either on-site or at an external venue.


FWC members will receive 20% off any scheduled course booked directly with the Red Cross if a FWC membership number is quoted at the time of booking.


To find out more about our AED courses or to make a booking please call 0844 412 9000 or email: keyaccounts@redcross.org.uk
