RFU Emergency First Aid Course

For course bookings on the RFU Emergency First Aid course please email katw@sta.co.uk or visit the course administration page.

The RFU has successfully run an appointed person's first aid course for over three years. Following demand from the game we have now introduced a greater element of pitch side and rugby specific training to the course, which adds a large value to the RFU course over others pitched to volunteers within the game. To avoid the course becoming overly lengthy as a result, these rugby specific training scenarios and some useful background information have been developed as a pre-course module which is accessible online.

The RFU Emergency First Aid Course is a fully recognised Emergency First aid at Work (EFAW) course with extra rugby-specific elements which prepare volunteers for their work pitch-side. The course covers RFU requirements regarding the management of concussion and spinal injuries as well as injury reporting requirements.

This course will not only provide attendees with the reassurance of a quality training product and accredited tutors, but also provide volunteers with a nationally recognised qualification that is transferable to the workplace; other sports or can be credited towards a larger qualification.

Organised for the RFU by STA, the course can be easily arranged at a local venue during weekdays, evenings, or weekends. The cost is £65 including VAT and the Tutor:Student ratio is a maximum of 1:12. There are 500 fully insured tutors nationwide all of whom have undertaken accredited training in order to professionally deliver first aid courses.
