Why Train in Cardiff?
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the commercial, media and public sector heart of the South Wales region, with major NHS, Welsh Government, university, BBC Cymru Wales, financial services, retail and hospitality employers concentrated in the city centre, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the Mercure Cardiff North on Circle Way East (CF23 9XF), just off Junction 30 of the M4 — keeps staff inside the CF postcode area, saves cross-border travel time, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider South Wales region for groups of 6 or more.
As the capital of Wales, Cardiff boasts a dynamic economy ranging from major public services and financial institutions to a burgeoning media sector. For all Welsh businesses, fulfilling the first-aid duties mandated by the HSE is a crucial legal obligation to protect both staff and the public.
