About Us...

Hi, we are Zsolt & Ana and we are based in South West London. We have been brought together by the passion of providing high quality first aid training and giving the people the confidence and skills to help in an emergency.

Our passion for teaching started in 2015, with delivering lifeguard courses for Royal Life Saving Society. Soon after that, we realised that there is more to first aid teaching and this motivated us to upgrade our skills, becoming qualified to teach a much wider range of first aid courses. 

We have been working together to create Practical First Aid from the desire to create a safe and confidence boosting environment for people to learn first aid. Throughout our journey to get here, we have had the opportunity to work with amazing mentors, who passed on their knowledge, their passion and their inspiring teaching way. This has motivated us to want to encourage and empower others, to give people the confidence and courage to be able to take control in emergency situations.

COVID 19 Adaptations...

We take the safety of everyone involved in our courses very seriously. As per the Government’s guidelines, we continue to provide first aid training for essential businesses:  https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus

We are continually reviewing the official guidance and we have introduced a wide range of precautions, to ensure the safety and well being of both the trainers and the learners.

Due to the practical nature of first aid courses, it is not possible to offer exclusively remote courses. While we have improved the range of courses that we offer and now have a blended option for almost each type of course, there are some practical components that need to be demonstrated face to face.

Please find below more information about our cleaning and sanitising process, as well as the Personal Protective Equipment we provide for each learner.

Each learner will receive one package at the beginning of each course. Each package contains Personal Protective and stationery items, that will be used throughout the course

Hand sanitiser, gloves, face mask, resuscitation shield (for CPR rescue breaths), sterile dressing, triangular bandage (for FAW and paediatric courses), plaster, book and a pen

Prior to each course, all manikins' faces are washed in hot water. After this step, faces are soaked in warm water with disinfectant solution for half an hour, followed by drip drying.

Each manikin comes with new lungs, changed before each course.

The chest is wiped with Trionic wipes, which are disinfection wipes, used mainly for medical devices and equipment.

Faces are again wiped with Trionic wipes and left to dry. In addition to this, alcoholic manikin wipes are used throughout the course, for learners to use in between each exercise.
