First Aid at Work Course in Leeds

Leeds is the commercial capital of West Yorkshire and the second-largest financial and professional services centre in the UK outside London, with major NHS, university, legal, retail, hospitality and logistics employers concentrated in a compact city centre and a tight ring of business parks. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the British Red Cross Centre on Armley Road (LS12 2LB) — saves staff travel time, keeps people inside the LS postcode area, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider West Yorkshire region for groups of 6 or more.

Leeds is one of the best-connected cities in the North. Leeds station is a major national rail hub with direct services from London King's Cross, Manchester, York, Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh. By road the city sits at the meeting point of the M1, M62 and M621, with the A1(M) a short drive east via the A64. The Armley Road training venue is around 1.5 miles west of the city centre — easiest by frequent bus along Armley Road / Canal Road from Leeds City Bus Station, with free on-site parking for delegates arriving by car.
