first aid online course is £20.00 certificates delivered at home. your is expensive £50.00???? question arises.
Hi j k Nathalal. Our First Aid course is a classroom course, hence, the £50.00 fee. The SIA does not accept an online-only qualification. If someone uses an online certificate, the SIA will not recognise or accept it. Thanks.
