Training For Life

We know that people switch off when faced with "traditional" (boring and stuffy) training. That’s why we work hard to make our training so engaging (fun even!). This way your staff remember what they’ve been taught.

Our trainers put people at ease and create an environment where even the most painfully shy feel able to participate and engage. This is why 100% of our attendees rate our courses as very good or excellent.

We only use experienced health care professionals, typically paramedics and nurses - not people who have learned it from a book. Our expert team always train the latest first aid techniques.

Why would you settle for anything less?

What courses do we offer?

Training courses are offered at all levels, from the most basic techniques to advanced first aid to meet specific risks in the workplace i.e. working at height or working with dangerous chemicals etc.

We can also tailor courses to meet any specific first aid needs, providing training at our own facilities in Milton Keynes or on-site training at our clients’ premises and refresh all First Aiders holding a full First Aid at Work certificate, regardless of where they were first trained.

What else do we do?

We also run a great new online learning resource, First Aid Cabinet - where you can learn everything you need about First Aid for Children, all in one place! The UK’s leading, most comprehensive, online resource including over 30 videos. Learn what to do in any given emergency situation involving babies and young children.
