St John Ambulance Kenya – Training Centre

St John Ambulance Kenya, a humanitarian organisation with a century of service in the country, runs its training from St John House on St John Lane, off Parliament Road in the city centre. Besides its ambulance service and volunteer brigade, it teaches first aid and emergency care to the public, schools and workplaces. Short courses last from one to five days: emergency and paediatric first aid, first aid at work and refresher courses, basic life support and advanced cardiovascular life support, wilderness and aviation first aid, fire marshal, occupational health and safety, disaster preparedness and a basic caregiver course. For people seeking a career in emergency care there is a few weeks' emergency medical responder course and two-year EMT certificate and diploma pathways, including an upgrade from certificate to diploma. Sessions are listed on a public calendar and organisations can book dedicated courses.
