We will help you retain your skills and knowledge: you will receive a comprehensive first aid manual, regular updates and a reminder when your certificate is about to expire. Language support is available for those with English as a second language and our online learning options enable you to easily update your skills.

All our courses incorporate best practice and comply with the latest guidelines from the Resuscitation Council UK and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines 2025, and comply with the International Guidance from ILCOR. Our training meets HSE guidance and Ofsted/EYFS requirements, and our regulated courses are Ofqual-recognised qualifications.

Like The Red Cross and St John’s Ambulance, we are a Qualsafe registered centre, so our workplace courses lead to regulated qualifications recognised by Ofqual and meet HSE guidance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing first aid course that we can recommend to anyone looking to learn life-saving skills! It was truly informative, and we walked away having learned a huge amount of practical knowledge we simply didn't know before. What really set this class apart from all the online courses was the hands-on practice. Getting to use the manikins and getting feedback on our technique made all the difference in building confidence.

Thank you to you both for organising & delivering; Ellis has put [it] into practice & saved a life. He delivered life-
saving CPR to an elderly man who fell on a bus.
He would not have been able to do this so confidently & successfully if it wasn’t for your first aid course.
So, thank you very much, an invaluable training.

Pippa, Ellis' mum

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to you for the first aid course on Friday. Ben was absolutely brilliant with the boys & they all had a great time.
It was so beneficial, I would really recommend it to others.
