Hi and welcome to F.A.S.T
We are a First Aid and Lifeguard training company regulated and approved by the Royal Life Saving Society (R.L.S.S) one of the largest and most well-known life saving organisations not only in Britain but worldwide.
All of our trainers are fully qualified and have around 30 years experience of Lifeguarding and First Aid delivery in swimming pools throughout Scotland.
Since December 2013 we have delivered many courses and have a 100% pass rate. Most of these courses have been assessed by external assessors, proof that the training we deliver is comprehensive and uncomplicated.
Almost every manned pool you swim in will be manned by an R.L.S.S trained Lifeguard. Proof that the training is successful is in the statistics, there has been no fatalities in a pool manned by R.L.S.S lifeguards for two years.
We have a training suite based in 60 St Enoch Square Glasgow, we chose this location as it is close to all main bus and train routes and stations within the city. We are a 5 minute walk for Glasgow central train station and the same from Buchanan St bus
station. St Enoch underground station is less than 30 seconds from our front door also.
We have had extremely positive feedback from our course evaluation forms all candidates are asked to complete honestly at the end of each course. These forms also give us great indications on where or how we can improve the delivery of our courses.
We offer all levels of First Aid training from Life Support through to full three-day First Aid at Work courses. Paediatric First Aid courses are also offered.
For the pool we offer National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (N.P.L.Q) and Emergency Response training for hotel support workers.
Since the legislation change in October 2013 we have also been asked to consult with several companies to ensure their workplace is running within legal guidelines and that safety is not compromised in their workplace.
Many hotels have a ‘no lifeguard on duty’ policy this is where Emergency Response training becomes a necessity We train leisure staff and their hotel counterparts in accident prevention and also rescue techniques for the worst case scenario, an incident
in the pool.
N.P.L.Q training is for those wishing to become professional Lifeguards or who are already qualified and require reassessment.
We can also provide ongoing training to staff to ensure their skills are refreshed and they are competent, for Lifeguards this is essential as without on-going training they would NOT be allowed to man a pool.
We can also ensure that staff First Aid skill are competent by running refresher training at regular intervals.
Any training whether it be a new course or on-going training can be delivered at our training suite or at the employees facility.
Our courses give people the confidence to Deliver First Aid treatment whilst remaining calm during an intense time.
Our prices won't be beaten, this is not due to inferior courses or training methods, all our courses meet all Health and Safety Executive specifications. How do we keep costs down? By having lower overheads than our competitors.
We also strive to keep prices low as we believe everyone should be able to learn First Aid techniques and knowledge as there is always someone, somewhere who requires some level of First Aid care, whether it be through illness or injury.
We also offer First Aid training for school children from the primary 1 class through to the 6th year secondary school pupils. In the case of 4th, 5th and 6th year pupils (16 and over) we offer N.P.L.Q training, this could help school leavers get some seasonal
Lifeguarding work or even full-time employment as a Lifeguard. It is also another fantastic Professional qualification to add to a C.V
