Course overview

This course meets requirements to train First Aiders within the workplace for both low and high risk environments. Training is delivered in a practical way by experienced trainers who will ensure your training is enjoyable and relaxed.

We are approved training providers with the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) and QNUK who are regulated by Ofqual.

What this means  for you as an Employer …

You are covered under HSE Requirements*  as there is no additional requirement for your organisation to check due diligence when you choose us as your training provider.  In other words you can be assured that your employees receive training to required standards.
(*HSE: Selection of a competent first aid training organisation – Due diligence).

As part of our service, we inform you in advance when your qualification is due to expire to ensure you’re aware of when you need to book on your re-qualification training. This service is for both individuals and companies alike.

Attendance on the First Aid at Work Re-qualification course is required to maintain first aider status.
