First Aid at Work Course in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second city and a national transport interchange — sitting at the meeting point of the M5, M6, M42 and M40 with three mainline stations (New Street, Snow Hill, Moor Street). Training your team locally at the British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (B7 4BL) keeps travel short whether delegates are coming in from the city centre, the M42 corridor, Solihull or the Black Country, and removes the cost and disruption of sending staff out to London or Manchester. The venue is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street and one stop on the West Midlands Metro from Snow Hill.

The British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (Woodcock Street, B7 4BL) is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street, around 12 minutes from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street, and one Metro stop from Snow Hill. By car it is 5 minutes from the A38(M) Aston Expressway and easily reached from the M6 (Junction 6, Spaghetti Junction) and the M42. Aston University pay-and-display is one minute away and several NCP and Q-Park sites sit within a 5-minute walk.
