This is fully certified Irish Heart Foundation CPR & AED training - all participants will achieve certification from the Irish Heart Foundation which is then valid for two years.
The instructors delivering the Course on our behalf hold the following qualifications:
- CPR AED Instructor (American Heart Association & Irish Heart Foundation)
- Cardiac First Response Instructor (Community) (Irish Heart Foundation & PHECC)

The provision of this training is part of our ongoing club support programme and is aimed at ensuring enhanced safety standards at all club settings especially on match-days.
Our experience via the Personal Accident Insurance scheme is that many accidents and injuries occur throughout the playing season. We believe that emergency first-aid capability will be of significant benefit in such circumstances.
As above, places are limited so early booking is advised.
