First-Aid Training

Our Courses

Our range of courses includes popular regulated courses, including Paediatric and First Aid at Work, as well as bespoke courses, such as for sports coaches. As well as our adult course, we also have sessions and courses to introduce young people to first aid, including covering the relevant PSHE curriculum. Whether it be a course for your group or workforce, or an individual spot on one of our public courses, we would love to help meet your first aid needs.

We'd love to share our knowledge

Our First Aid instructor, Sarah Lang, is a Nuco Training Ltd accredited first aid trainer, holding a range of qualifications including First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid. Using her background as a teacher, Sarah prides herself on delivering high-quality, engaging teaching no matter the course.

Ofqual Regulated Courses

These courses are regulated through Ofqual and include HSE qualifications, as well as the Paediatric course which meets OFSTED criteria.

Bespoke courses

If the regulated courses just don’t fit your needs, you may find one of our own courses to be more suitable. If you don’t see what you need, we would be happy, where possible, to create or adapt a course for you.
