First Aid in Rugby (FAIR) courses give you the opportunity to gain rugby-specific first aid skills.
Delivered by experienced practitioners with rugby expertise, a World Rugby recognised FAIR qualification will give you the skills to immediately assist an injured player.

On completion of the course to the required standard, you will receive a World Rugby FAIR qualification certificate and a FAIR kit (valued at over $100) with equipment used on the course.
