I attended this course about 5 years ago. I then made up credit cards with the key points for the first aiders and went through a 1 hour abbreviated highlights that I felt they would be able to use in that particular workplace. I rang this out then to all managers/HR and they said it was very useful.
So in essence if the company cant afford to run it out this was my 2nd best option.

Good morning all
I was with a large international organisation that is rolling out the 2 day course, and supplementing it with the shorter 'lite' course to reach even more employees. I am now with a massive UK organisation whose director level have just done the 'lite' course, and who have really embraced this. By getting this level on board, the organisation is increasing their MHFA training and awareness, which can only be beneficial for the culture of the company. Other employees have been on the 2 day course so its all very encouraging. I'd thoroughly recommend the 2 day course, having completed this in the autumn, it enhances my 'life skills' as well as my OH practice.
Best wishes
Jane

I'm interested to find out if there is much interest out there in this training and if anyone thinks companies would pay for the two day course? Thanks
