Can a first aider be sued if he did not do the aid course via work?

It is possible for a first aider to be sued if they did not complete their aid course through their employer. Generally speaking, first aiders have a duty of care to provide competent and appropriate first aid in accordance with their level of training and experience. If someone gets injured and needs first aid, but the person assisting them did not receive adequate training through a recognized course, they could be held liable for any harm caused. Additionally, failing to provide adequate first aid or taking inappropriate actions can lead to legal consequences. Therefore, it is advisable to complete a recognized first aid course to ensure you have the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively and safely in emergency situations.
