First Aid.

Having trained First Aiders in your organisation can make a vital difference when responding to accidents, injuries and medical emergencies.

Whether you're looking to train new First Aiders or renew existing qualifications, our First Aid courses provide practical, hands-on learning designed to develop confidence as well as competence. Learners gain the knowledge and skills needed to assess situations, provide immediate assistance and respond appropriately until further help arrives.

All courses include AED (Defibrillator) training, helping participants develop the confidence to use lifesaving equipment in an emergency.

How Many First Aiders Does Your Business Need?

One of the most common questions employers ask is:

"How many First Aiders do I need, and what level of training should they have?"

The answer depends on several factors, including the size of your workforce, the nature of your activities, workplace risks and working arrangements.

Our First Aid Requirements Calculator can help you understand the level of First Aid provision your organisation may require and identify the most suitable training options for your team.
