You may find, however, when you check the application requirements, that an accredited St. John's First Aid certificate IS a requirement. The nice thing about paying for that is that it is a useful addition on your resume for ANY job she applies for in the future,
Wise words! also, AFAIK, it's a mandatory requirement in UK that an employer has a qualified First-Aider on site. That bit of paper really CAN be the deal-clincher.
(It also demonstrates that you're smart enough to absorb the training)

You could also JOIN St. John,- enjoy the cameraderie (anywhere there's a unit) get further training (free including basic FAAW) and, increasingly, they're paying for duties which are sub-contracted to the local Health authority.

No, I'm not a member...though my offspring were and one not only secured a job, but was given a pay-increment as the designated First-Aider. A Win-Win situation.
