Training Online and In-person for First Aid at Work

As well as meeting your legal obligations, when an employee is injured or becomes ill at work, a First Aider can make the difference between a quick recovery or longer-term health issues.

Employers must assess their First Aid needs based on the hazards and risks involved in their work and presented by their workplace, and provide appropriate equipment and enough trained First Aiders to help injured or ill staff.

Our First Aid At Work training courses are delivered by medical experts who have real world experience in dealing with medical emergencies. Our trainers share realistic and practical advice that will ensure attendees are equipped to cope in a First Aid emergency at work. We can also develop bespoke training courses to suit your requirements and can deliver courses both in-house at your premises, or at a venue to suit you.
