The Irish Red Cross mission is a simple one – save lives and strengthen communities.
At home in Ireland, the Irish Red Cross network of more than 5,000 trained volunteers work
daily to keep their local communities safe. The first to respond when disaster strikes; floods,
storms, accidents and emergencies – the Irish Red Cross is there.
Irish Red Cross first aid training courses empower you with the skills and confidence to
respond to an emergency. The skills to save a person’s life. More than 10,000 people in Ireland

teachers. The two day course gives you complete theoretical and practical training, either at
