Bespoke Short CoursesIf you can’t find the course you want in this guide, and have a particular requirement regarding course content or structure, then our team of experienced, professional trainers can work with you to develop a course that suits your needs.

Delivered at a time and place to suit you!It isn’t always convenient to release people from the workplace on consecutive days in one working week. With this in mind, we aim to run our courses over a period of time that suits you and your organisation - even if it’s during the evening or at weekends.

Whilst we have superb facilities available to you at the College, we can also customise practical skills training for delivery at your premises should this be preferable to you.

Call our team on 01752 305026 to discuss how we can tailor our courses to suit your needs.

Case Study - Ashley Meads

“Whilst completing the first aid course at the College I thought about how great it would be to combine the two things I enjoy - working with young people and first aid. I thought it would be really good if I could teach young people first aid and have been pursuing this ambition. The first aid course at the College was really relaxed and friendly, with tutors who were having fun whilst teaching; I know that’s what I want to be like when I teach it to young people!”

Employer Case Study - Curious Kittens Nursery

Curious Kittens Nursery approached the College to deliver a specialist course in paediatric first aid which could be tailored to their needs of caring for the health, safety and wellbeing of children from birth to five years.

The objectives of the training were to fulfil the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage for nursery practitioners, and to give a thorough overview of the basic and important elements of first aid.

In order to accommodate 24 members of staff and ensure that the day-to-day running of the nursery was not affected, Nursery Manager, Julie Griffiths, requested that training took place on consecutive Saturdays with a Saturday ‘off’ in between, run over two separate sessions.

“The course really exceeded my expectations”, said Julie. “It was booked to our particular specifications in terms of date and venue, and my team really enjoyed the training, finding it to be comprehensive and pitched at an appropriate level. They are now confident that they could deal competently and confidently in a first aid situation.”

Employer Case Study - The Reatch Centre

The Reatch Centre in Plymouth, which is part of Plymouth City Council, is an adult social care service that provides care for people with sensory impairments, disabilities, or with acquired brain injuries.

The team at the Centre completed a first aid mobility and handling course with City College Plymouth, which was organised through Plymouth City Council’s training department. As part of the training they received advice and guidance about how to administer certain first aid techniques to people who have reduced mobility and complex health care needs.

John Casey, Unit Manager at the Reatch Centre said: “We specified our needs to the College and they were able to provide us with the training that we needed, and in our own workplace too. This was really helpful to us, especially as it was only a small team of staff who were undergoing the training.

“The course was tailored to provide solutions to the problems that our team faces, and the tutor was able to answer questions and advise on particular issues.

“The course suited our needs perfectly. The team now feel confident in their own abilities, and that they can deliver the first aid to the clients in often tricky circumstances.”
