Your STAC Management Team
Sinnott Training and Certification consistently delivers first aid courses in Ireland to a very high standard. Because of this, we were the first independent training company in the Midwest region to attain full recognition from the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council. Such a vote of confidence in our first aid courses motivates us to improve our courses even more, and we hope it inspires confidence in you, too.

SEAMUS SINNOTT
MANAGING DIRECTOR
In his early career, Seamus witnessed his boss suffer an accident leading to an amputation. “This was a real wake-up call. I knew then that my first aid training was insufficient and hadn’t prepared us. We didn’t react properly, and the consequences were shocking. I needed real skills, and the idea of STAC First Aid was born.” His role involves overseeing strategic direction, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable growth while maintaining a steadfast commitment to excellence in all aspects of our business.
Seamus started gaining proper training and volunteering as a reservist in the Army Medical Corps, where he served for 20 years. Seamus holds a Masters in Emergency Management from Dublin City University. Through his leadership, STAC is poised to navigate uncertainties with confidence and emerge stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for whatever the future may hold.
