First Aid Course in 60 seconds – How To Save A Life.

Did you know there is a First Aid Course for Children? If your child needed emergency first aid would you know what to do?

We were rushing TO hospital and he actually stopped moving in the car, I was in tears, a police car came and I performed CPR on my son. He could so easily have died.

If they stop breathing or choking could you help them?

For many years we have continually developed our in-house training department. We are not a training company that ships in and ships out students for financial gain, we care greatly about the training we deliver and what the ultimate outcome is, first class care being delivered out in the care sector.

The health and social care sector are riddled with training companies that want to make a fast buck. HealthCareAcademiCymru have prided ourselves on delivering excellent training, so much so that our course participants win care awards.

Sara walked away picking up the “Excellence in Dementia Care Award” at the Wales Care Awards in 2017. Sara has worked for us in the past and has received training from our training department. The training we deliver equips carers to deliver care for the most vulnerable adults in our society, especially those who have dementia and Mental Health Conditions.

We have not only won awards recently but in the past as well. Here is a care award we picked up in 2014 at the Wales Care Awards.


We have a wealth of experience when it comes to health and social care training. We carry out training in-house so that all courses are quality controlled. In-house training means we don’t have to free-lance work out offsite, the problem with delivering training offsite using free-lancers is you cannot see the training being delivered, is it of quality? Or is the free-lancer looking to make a quick financial gain, shipping in students and shipping them out so that they get paid.

HealthCareAcademiCymru’s Training priority is to ensure all students are taught health and social care topics to the highest standard, this only translates to quality care being delivered in the care field, and the service user has to be at the heart of everything we do within the care sector, that is paramount.
