Training delivery in an Early Years or School Age Care setting is not an easy undertaking. To start, there is a requirement or problem in place that prompts training to take place. In addition, you have to source a provider, allocate relevant staff members and cover, book a venue if required, and of course, the cost. This takes time and effort. However, have you ever considered a situation where you go to such lengths, only for your certificates to be rejected by regulatory bodies? Unfortunately, such circumstances are not completly alien.
The Pre Hospital Emergency Care Council 

The Pre Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) is the national regulatory body in Ireland for pre-hospital emergency care. PHECC sets the standards for education and training for people who provide emergency care before a patient reaches a hospital (for example first aid responders, paramedics and so on). Only First Aid Response certificates provided by a PHECC Approved Training Institution are accepted by Tusla.  

A PHECC Approved Training Institution (ATI) is an organisation that PHECC has authorised to: 

Only institutions with this approval can legally provide PHECC courses. Therefore, it is vital that when you book a First Aid Response training course, you do so with a PHECC approved company. 
If you take a course from a PHECC approved training institution, it means:

In 2023, Canavan Byrne received approval from PHECC and is a recognised Training Institution. Since then, we have received approval to deliver First Aid Response training in a blended learning format. With this format, the theory section is delivered online on day 1, with the practical elements being completed on days 2 and 3 for full certification and day 2 for recertification.
Shock and injury management is part of our First Aid Response course. Avoid the shock of certificate rejection. Train with a PHECC Approved Institution.
