Coastal Core offers a structured range of accredited and workplace-focused programmes that suit aspiring first responders, workplace first aiders, and anyone responsible for health and safety. The core catalogue includes the Qualsafe First Response Emergency Care (Level 3 RQF), a five-day course covering prehospital emergencies, CPR, trauma management, and patient assessment. For workplace certification, Coastal Core runs the Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF), a concise 6.5-hour programme that teaches CPR, managing unresponsive casualties, and treating common injuries while helping organisations meet legal requirements. A short Vaccination Basic Life Support & Anaphylaxis session (1.5 hours) focuses on recognising critical symptoms and delivering immediate care for anaphylaxis and basic life support. Employers and current first aiders can maintain compliance through the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) 2 Day Requalifying Course, which provides hands-on practice of vital procedures and the latest emergency techniques.
Training content aligns with regulated RQF standards where specified, emphasising practical skills and scenario-based learning drawn from accepted first aid practice. Coastal Core’s programmes are presented with clear course lengths and targeted outcomes so participants know what to expect and how each course supports workplace safety, emergency preparedness, and progression into paramedicine or frontline emergency roles.
