About CLX
CLX First Aid have been delivering high quality first aid training in the Bradford area since 2007. We specialise in practical, environment specific, face-to-face training, contextualised to the participants’ requirements, meaning that each course gives the participants training relevant to their needs. CLX First Aid are the longest established providers of Outdoor First Aid and Forest School First Aid in the local area.
CLX First Aid is an approved centre for ITC First – an Ofqual and Qualifications Scotland Accreditation regulated Awarding Organisation. As it delivers training in regulated qualifications, there is no need for employers to carry out “Due Diligence” as recommended in the HSE guidance GEIS3. The full quality assurance processes required are carried out through the Awarding Organisation, which gives customers the peace of mind to know that they will receive quality training and in most cases a nationally recognised regulated qualification in first aid.
CLX First Aid has a full set of policies and procedures to protect its learners and give them the peace of mind that their interests are looked after. These policies are available on request – please use the form in the Contact Us section. ITC First is unique amongst Awarding Organisations in that it uses purely practical assessment methods for its first aid qualifications, so that you know somebody holds an ITC first aid qualification really can do the first aid that they are qualified for.
