Why Train in Paisley?
Paisley is the largest town in Scotland and the commercial heart of Renfrewshire, with major NHS, university, public sector, retail, hospitality and aerospace / logistics employers concentrated in the town centre and around Glasgow Airport. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the British Red Cross Centre on Smithhills Street (PA1 1EB), a 4-minute walk from Paisley Gilmour Street station — saves staff travel time into central Glasgow, keeps people inside the PA postcode area, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across Renfrewshire and West Glasgow for groups of 6 or more.
As Renfrewshire largest town and a key part of the Greater Glasgow area, Paisley has a varied economy with strong public, retail and service sectors. It is a legal requirement under HSE regulations for all employers in Paisley to ensure adequate and appropriate first aid provision is in place.

Getting here

Paisley Gilmour Street is a major rail hub on the Glasgow–Ayrshire / Inverclyde lines with very frequent services to Glasgow Central (about 10 minutes), and the town has three further local stations (Paisley Canal, Paisley St James, Hawkhead). By road the town sits directly off the M8 with the A737, A726 and A761 fanning out across Renfrewshire — and Glasgow Airport is a 5-minute drive. The Smithhills Street training venue is in the centre of Paisley, a 4-minute walk from Gilmour Street, with car parks a short walk away.
