To provide a quotation, we will ask for a name and e-mail address.
To enrol you on a course and provide a certificate we might ask for an e-mail address, name, residential address, if required, and contact telephone number.
If you are enrolled on a course, we will also need information related to any back, neck or joint/ mobility problems that may affect your ability to kneel and practice CPR and defibrillation with manikins. Reasonable adjustments can be made if such problems are relevant and as such will be recorded on paperwork.
We also collect demographic information such as postcode and exact address.

All records are stored electronically on password protected documents.
Provide evidence or registration of attendance on a course and provide certificates of attendance or achievement in reference to a course.
With your permission, we might occasionally send promotional e-mails informing you of local, upcoming courses or special offers.
If you enrol onto a course, we hold all records for five years. After that any paper-work is shredded and disposed of.
If we provide a quotation, but you do not enrol on a course we will delete all personal data (name, telephone number and/ or e-mail address) after one month.
