Check out CA first aid website (Stuart Richardson) who regularly runs courses out of the hotel in Stanley just outside of Perth.
There’s a guy advertises on Fb as Sika First Aid.
Looks like he does courses in Stirling, Alloa, Dundee and Aberdeen.

I'd be interested to hear if you find a course. Closer to inverness the better for me. Thanks.

I'll give you a shout, get something sorted.
Perfect.
I'm due home 12th April (subject to the usual variance) for a month. More than happy to travel north a bit if required.
Thought you oil & gas lads would be on a first aid course every year if working on rigs? Would have just asked the work provider to bolt a module on for you?
Wanting to do it properly is one thing, but FLS pretty much had us do an online course then a one day mickey mouse face to face with someone who really didn't know their stuff.
Just another ticket?

Ah, but they can't keep making astronomical profits if they have to pay for anything over and above the legal minimum standard. FA training is folded into the 4 yearly FOET course (Further Offshore Emergency Training).
I've just completed my FOET for the umpteenth time. I had to do two cycles of chest compressions on Annie, spray a barrel of flaming cardboard with a water extinguisher, escape from a dark room wearing a smokehood and then get out of an upside-down sunken helicopter in a swimming pool. £500 plus VAT for the course, I was in the facility for 7 hours with two 30 minute coffee breaks and an hour for lunch, plus the time taken to "suit up" for fire and underwater training, plus standing around poolside waiting for three other cycles of unfortunates doing their dunk.
It is not about safety my friend...
Doesn’t work I’m afraid…I did enquire and the O&G first aid is not accepted.Thought you oil & gas lads would be on a first aid course every year if working on rigs? Would have just asked the work provider to bolt a module on for you?

Did mine with Stu at Aboyne hall about 2 years ago. He was doing a bit of a "tour" at the time.
Giving this guy a call as I need to do mine shortly.
