Apex Medical & Rescue is a Resuscitation Council UK approved Course Centre. Our courses run at our training centre at Heatherton Park near Taunton, a few minutes from the M5, which makes us an easy drive for healthcare professionals from Somerset, Devon, Dorset, Bristol and beyond.
Every RCUK course follows the same national guidelines, syllabus and assessment, so your certificate is identical to one from any other Course Centre.
