OUTWARDLY MOBILE FIRST AID TRAINING GUIDELINES
1-Day EFAW and 2-Day Outdoor First Aid Programmes.

As first aid training providers, the safety of our clients is paramount. Training provided by Outwardly
Mobile is comprehensive, practical, and includes indoor and, on 2-day courses, outdoor scenarios.

Most of our first aid courses are delivered at Badaguish Centre, Aviemore, PH22 1AD. Other courses
are delivered across Scotland at suitable venues, including those chosen and funded by organisations
requesting a bespoke course.

Important Information:

  1. For individuals, online booking is essential via www.outwardlymobile.co.uk.
    Companies or organisations requiring to be invoiced, or seeking a bespoke course, should contact us directly.
  2. Individual payment must be made at the time of booking unless an alternative arrangement is in place (e.g. sponsoring companies/organisations). A fee of £30pp will be charged if any cancellation is intimated more than 2-weeks before the course start date. Cancellation within 14 days leading up to the course date will result in the full fee being charged. No cancellation fee will be charged if one subsequent course is booked and attended.
  3. Courses generally run with a maximum of 12 participants.
  4. Anyone with a temperature or displaying any other signs of infection or illness should postpone their attendance with a view to taking part on a later date.
  5. It is good practice for nitrile gloves (provided) to be worn during all practical sessions.
  6. Although no longer mandatory, clients may wish to wear their own face covering, particularly during indoor practical sessions and outdoor scenarios.
  7. Each client will have their own dedicated mannequin. These are sanitised for every course.
  8. Resuscitation Council Guidelines require clients to demonstrate the safe airway (recovery) position on another person and effective CPR on a mannequin.
  9. Those attending the course should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing suitable for taking part in practical sessions, which will involve being a casualty, lying on the floor.
  10. Whenever possible, practical sessions including realistic scenarios involving fellow participants will take place outdoors. Outdoor clothing, including a waterproof shell and outdoor footwear, is recommended. This is particularly the case on 2-Day programmes.
  11. Courses normally run 08.55h – 17:00, subject to negotiation for bespoke courses. (e.g. 1-Day +F courses require longer hours.)
  12. On Badaguish-based courses, tea and coffee will be provided. Unless alternative arrangements have been made, please bring a packed lunch.
  13. All programmes are compliant with HSE and Resuscitation Council Protocols & Procedures.
  14. Certification gained from a 2-Day (16-hour) programme validates all Outdoor NGB Awards and +F
    (Forestry) requirements.
  15. OMFA does not share personal data with any third party. Personal data is stored securely for 3 years for the sole purpose of sending a reminder to clients as certificates are about to expire.
    Details are then carefully destroyed.
