Why Train in Hamilton?
Hamilton is the administrative centre of South Lanarkshire and one of the largest commercial hubs in the West of Scotland, with major NHS, public sector, contact-centre, retail, hospitality and logistics employers concentrated in the town centre and along the M74 corridor. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the Holiday Inn Express on Keith Street (ML3 7BL) — saves staff travel time, keeps people inside the ML postcode area, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider Lanarkshire region for groups of 6 or more.
As the administrative heart of South Lanarkshire, Hamilton's economy is underpinned by the public sector, business services and a strong retail presence. For every organisation, from the council to a contact centre, meeting the HSE's legal requirements for first-aid provision is essential.

Getting here
Hamilton is one of the best-connected towns in the West of Scotland. Three local rail stations (Hamilton Central, Hamilton West and Chatelherault) offer fast services to Glasgow Central. By road the town sits directly off the M74, with the M8 a short drive north — making the wider Strathclyde / Lanarkshire industrial belt easy to reach. The Holiday Inn Express training venue is in the centre of Hamilton with free on-site parking for delegates arriving by car, and a 13-minute walk from Hamilton Central station.
