Why Train in Reading?
Reading is a major Thames Valley hub with one of the UK's highest concentrations of technology, professional services and pharmaceutical employers. Training your team locally at our Eastern Avenue venue or on-site at your office ensures minimal downtime while meeting HSE obligations. Whether you are at Oracle, Microsoft, PwC, the University of Reading or the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, our EFAW courses are tailored to the office-based, laboratory and light-industrial environments common across Berkshire.
As a cornerstone of the UK's Silicon Valley in the Thames Valley, Reading has a high concentration of office-based and technology-focused businesses. Meeting the HSE's first aid regulations is therefore a fundamental aspect of corporate responsibility and risk management for companies here.
