How to recognise a medical emergency and what to do in the minutes that matter.
When someone faints, lay them down and raise their legs to bring blood back to the brain. Give them fresh air and loosen tight clothing. They should come round within a minute or two. If they do not, check the breathing, use the recovery position and call 112 or 999.

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.
Straight answers about the first aid course for Ireland learners: local acceptance, online delivery, certification and pricing at Irish First Aid.
Call 112 or 999 at once if a person is unresponsive, not breathing normally, has chest pain, shows signs of a stroke, is bleeding heavily, is having a severe allergic reaction, has a seizure that does not stop or has a serious burn or head injury. If in doubt, call.
No. Giving medication is outside first aid, and a workplace first aid kit holds none. The exceptions are helping a person to take their own prescribed medication, such as an inhaler or an adrenaline auto injector, and offering aspirin to an adult with a suspected heart attack.
A person who is unresponsive and not breathing normally will die without CPR, so you cannot make the outcome worse. Cracked ribs are common and heal. If the person does not need CPR they will react, and you simply stop.
The first aid course runs beautifully on PC, laptop, tablet and smartphone, from the office desk to the kitchen table, anywhere in Ireland. Learners in Ireland study from home, from work or on the move, with no classroom visit needed anywhere across every county in Ireland.

The first aid course at Irish First Aid fits Ireland working life perfectly. From Dublin's construction cranes and Cork's pharma plants to Galway's medtech campuses, Limerick's manufacturing belt and the farms, hotels, warehouses and hospitals in every county between, Irish workplaces run on certified, compliant staff. Instead of losing a day to a classroom, learners in Ireland complete the full accredited training online, in about 1-2 hours, from home or straight from the workplace.

The unique verification code on every certificate makes checks instant, whether you work in Dublin, Cork or Galway.
For businesses, the free Employer Dashboard turns a team rollout into one afternoon of work: bulk registration, live progress and every first aid certificate in one clean screen, with automatic volume discounts applied at checkout.
Most providers sell first aid as one course among dozens. At Irish First Aid it is the entire business, and the depth shows: every compression rate, every bandage technique and every emergency decision gets proper treatment instead of a passing mention.
The syllabus follows current Irish and European resuscitation guidelines and HSA expectations: the primary survey, CPR and AED awareness, choking, wounds, burns, shock and a clean handover to paramedics.
The result is a first aid course that employers recognise as genuinely specialist, backed by a certificate they trust on sight.
Nobody learns life saving skills well under pressure. Every lesson streams on any device, every pause saves your place, and each technique is shown slowly, clearly and correctly before it is ever tested.
Start the first aid training after the kids are asleep, continue at lunch and finish on the weekend. Progress syncs across every device automatically.
No classroom day, no travel, no waiting list: enrol now, certify today.
Pass the assessment and the digital first aid certificate is generated on the spot, aligned with current guidelines and recognised across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
It lives permanently in your account for re-download during audits, job applications and insurance renewals, and its unique verification code lets any employer confirm it instantly.
On a CV, the first aid certificate is among the most universally respected credentials there is, because every workplace wants someone who knows what to do.
Every module comes from licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) consultants following current resuscitation guidelines, with techniques demonstrated slowly, clearly and correctly.
You learn effective chest compressions, the correct response to choking, how to control bleeding that will not stop and how to treat burns in the first minutes. Each skill is shown, repeated and tested so it stays with you.
Content is re-reviewed against updated guidelines and HSA guidance, so the first aid course never drifts out of date.
A classroom first aid day costs far more than the ticket price: travel, cover staff and lost hours. The online emergency first aid course removes every one of those costs.
Staff certify from their desks or homes, starting the moment you enrol them, and managers see each completion in real time.
Pricing is honest: one figure covers the full course, unlimited retakes and the instant first aid certificate. No add ons, ever.

In practice, the people certifying with us are nominated first aiders, office and warehouse staff, construction crews, hospitality and retail teams, teachers, creche and care workers, coaches, drivers and a growing number of parents learning for home.
If you have been handed the first aid kit, or you want the confidence to use one, this specialist course is the fastest way there.
How to recognise a medical emergency and what to do in the minutes that matter.
A faint is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a short fall in blood flow to the brain, brought on by heat, standing for a long time, pain, hunger or an emotional shock. The person is pale and may feel sick, dizzy or hot beforehand.
Lay the person down and raise their legs. Make sure there is fresh air and loosen tight clothing. They should come round within a minute or two: sit them up slowly. If they do not, open the airway, check the breathing, place them in the recovery position and call 112 or 999.
The recovery position is for a person who is unresponsive but breathing normally. It keeps the airway open and lets fluid drain from the mouth. Call 112 or 999 and check the breathing until help arrives.
In Ireland call 112 or 999. Both numbers reach the same emergency service and both are free from any phone.
Use the speaker on your phone so that you can follow instructions with both hands free, and send someone to meet the ambulance.
Chest pain, a drooping face, swelling of the throat or a seizure each have clear signs.
Minutes decide the outcome of a heart attack, a stroke and anaphylaxis.
Reassure, keep the person still and comfortable, and watch their breathing.
