Our dedicated Sport Coaching students have recently completed their First Aid course as part of their certificate. This comprehensive training gives our future coaches the critical skills needed to ensure athlete safety on and off the field. The course covered essential topics such as assessing emergency situations, CPR and defibrillator use, managing injuries like sprains and fractures, and allergies. Upon completion, they received nationally recognised certification, enhancing their coaching credentials.
