Forestry first aid training
Also known as: +F first aid, first aid +F, Level 3 Forestry First Aid
Nuco's Level 3 Forestry First Aid (+F): a 2-hour course for first aiders in forestry and agricultural work.
About the course
Forestry and farm work happens a long way from help, with chainsaws, heavy machinery and the weather to contend with. This 2-hour Nuco Training course builds on your existing first aid so you can handle the emergencies most likely in a forestry or agricultural environment. It covers the recommended topics in the Forestry Commission First Aid policy. You'll need an in-date Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work qualification to attend. The qualification is valid for 3 years, with annual refresher training recommended. Groups of up to 12 learners, aged 14 and over.
What the course covers
A practical, engaging course with hands-on practice throughout.

Reviews
What our trainees say
Very informative and engaging course that touched all the bases of Emergency First Aid for our Staff. They all said the course was “Excellent”. We will definitely be using Pole Position again for all our future Health and Safety needs.
We were really impressed with the Health & Safety Awareness training delivered by Peter Pole at our offices. His approach was clear, engaging and informative and he kept the team fully involved throughout. The session was a valuable refresher and helped reinforce a strong safety first mindset across the workforce. Thanks again, Peter
