Every course is heavy on practical scenarios and light on death by PowerPoint. You will practise on manikins, work in pairs and leave with muscle memory, not just a certificate.
We train groups right across Manchester and the surrounding areas, including Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria, Deansgate and the Metrolink network. Venues are allocated based on the size and location of each group, so we can choose a well-placed, easy-to-reach site rather than promising a specific room in every neighbourhood.

“Genuinely the best training course our team has been on. The instructor was calm, funny and made the practical work feel natural. Everyone left feeling confident.”
“Booked FAW for six of the lads on site. Zero corporate waffle, all practical. Would recommend to any construction team in the North West.”
“Our Paediatric course covered every scenario we worry about. Ofsted friendly paperwork, brilliant trainer and easy booking from start to finish.”

We run open courses at partner venues across City centre, Salford Quays, Trafford Park, MediaCityUK, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, all within easy reach of Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria, Deansgate and the Metrolink network. On-site training at your premises is also available anywhere in Greater Manchester and the North West.
All of our first aid at work certificates are valid for three years from the date of completion. We recommend booking your refresher a couple of months before it expires so you stay compliant.
Yes. Every course is delivered to the standards set by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) and First Aid Awards (FAA), and mapped to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. Paediatric courses are aligned with the EYFS framework for Ofsted.
Blended learning splits the course between online study and a shorter face-to-face session. For example, our Paediatric blended course is 1 day online + 1 day face-to-face, and our First Aid at Work blended course is 1 day online + 2 days face-to-face. You complete the theory modules online at your own pace through our learner portal, then attend the practical face-to-face day to demonstrate skills like CPR, bandaging and the recovery position. You get the same certificate as the full classroom course.
Absolutely. We travel across Greater Manchester and the North West to deliver group training at your workplace. It usually works out cheaper per head and saves your team the commute. Ring us on 01543 372888 for a tailored quote.
Life happens. Get in touch as soon as you can and we will move you onto a later date at no extra cost, subject to availability and our standard terms.
