First Aid at Work Training
Our 3-day First Aid at Work Level III course equips employees with comprehensive skills to handle workplace emergencies. Designed for businesses requiring HSE-compliant training, it covers injury assessment, CPR, and emergency response protocols. Ideal for organisations seeking a regulated qualification to meet legal obligations.
Paediatric First Aid
The 2-day Paediatric First Aid Level III course prepares staff to respond to emergencies involving children. Tailored for schools, nurseries, and childcare providers, it includes injury management, asthma attacks, and choking scenarios. Meets Ofsted requirements for early years settings.
CPR and AED Training
Half-day CPR and AED Level II courses teach life-saving techniques for cardiac arrest situations. Focused on automated external defibrillator use and chest compressions, this training suits workplaces needing basic life support skills without full first aid certification.
Emergency First Aid
The 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work Level III course covers essential skills for immediate response to common workplace injuries. Designed for low-risk environments, it includes bleeding control, burns treatment, and casualty assessment within HSE guidelines.
Annual Refresher Courses
Half-day refresher courses maintain first aid qualifications without retaking full training. Focused on updating skills and knowledge, these sessions ensure continued compliance with regulatory standards while reinforcing confidence in emergency response techniques.

Report
We had First Aid Training Solutions attend our work place so our staff could achieve a First Aid at Work certificate.
Nick (the instructor) was absolutely brilliant. Very informative and great to talk too both about first aid and other general topics. The value for money was incredible with the benefit of the training taking place at work meaning no additional costs for staff travel. It left our staff both confident and knowledgeable to deal with any situations in our workplace or even outside of the workplace. First aid is an excellent skill to have and I cannot recommend them enough if you wish

Report
I had the pleasure of taking part in a first aid course specifically aimed at the use of a defibrillator. I have to say that Jill Collins and her husband came across in a professional & knowledgeable manner and presented themselves as true professionals within their field. I found the course brilliant and very informative and could not praise them enough. Thank you so much for giving your time
