First aid training is a critical requirement in many workplaces, supporting organisations to meet Health and Safety Executive expectations and ensure staff can respond effectively in an emergency. This course combines comprehensive first aid knowledge with practical training delivery skills, giving you everything needed to deliver engaging and compliant first aid training sessions.

Ideal for organisations looking to bring training in house, this course supports consistent delivery, improved staff competence, and better emergency preparedness.

Training can be delivered at your workplace or at our dedicated training room in Yeovil, Somerset, offering a flexible and professional learning environment.

What this course offers

This course provides a structured and practical approach to both first aid knowledge and training delivery. Learners will build a strong understanding of essential first aid topics, including responding to emergencies, assessing casualties, and providing immediate care.

Participants will revise key areas such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of an automated external defibrillator, managing bleeding, burns, choking, and dealing with unconscious casualties. The focus is on ensuring knowledge is accurate, up to date, and aligned with current first aid guidance.

Alongside this, learners will develop the skills needed to deliver effective training sessions. This includes understanding how adults learn, structuring training, presenting information clearly, and engaging learners through practical activities.

A key part of the course is the opportunity to deliver your own training sessions. Through micro teaching and feedback, learners will build confidence and refine their delivery style, ensuring they are ready to train others effectively within their organisation.

Why this training matters

Having trained first aiders in the workplace is essential for responding to accidents and emergencies, and organisations must ensure that training is effective and regularly refreshed. Poor quality training can lead to uncertainty and incorrect responses in critical situations.

This course supports organisations in meeting Health and Safety Executive requirements by enabling consistent, high quality first aid training to be delivered internally. It also strengthens organisational resilience by ensuring staff are prepared and confident in responding to emergencies.

For learners, it offers the opportunity to step into a training role, develop leadership and communication skills, and make a meaningful impact on workplace safety.
