Why Train in Chester?
Training your staff locally in Chester avoids the cost and downtime of sending people to Manchester or Liverpool for British Red Cross or St John Ambulance first aid training. Our Chester venue is just off the A41 / A55 corridor and serves a real cross-section of Cheshire employers — Countess of Chester Hospital, Cheshire West and Chester Council, the University of Chester, Bank of America, M&S Bank, Chester Zoo and the hospitality businesses along Eastgate Street and the Rows. Open EFAW dates run year-round, with on-site group training also available right across Cheshire West and into North Wales.
Chester is a key economic centre in North West England, with significant financial, retail, and tourism sectors. For organisations across Cheshire and North Wales, meeting their duties under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 is essential, and our local courses make this straightforward.
