Why Train in London?

Train across five real London venues with proper transport links rather than a single central address: the British Red Cross at 44 Moorfields (3 min Moorgate, 10 min Liverpool Street), the British Red Cross at Greenwich View Place E14 (Crossharbour DLR, 10 min Canary Wharf), Linden House on Upper Mall in Hammersmith W6, the Antoinette Hotel at Wimbledon SW19 (5 min Wimbledon station) and Barking Enterprise Centre IG11 (5 min Barking — District, Elizabeth, c2c and Overground). The British Red Cross sites in particular pick up the strong 'british red cross first aid training' search demand London employers already trust.

London's unparalleled economic diversity, from global finance to bustling tourism, creates a complex and demanding environment for workplace safety. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 are a non-negotiable cornerstone of business operations, protecting millions of employees across the capital.

Getting here

Five venues across the four quadrants of London, each on a major rail/Tube node: Moorgate / Liverpool Street for the City, Crossharbour DLR for Canary Wharf, Hammersmith Tube (Piccadilly/District/H&C/Circle) for the west, Wimbledon (District/SWR/Tram) for the south and Barking (District/Elizabeth/c2c/Overground) for the east. The M25 ring connects every on-site delivery, with the M4, M1, M11 and A2/A20 corridors feeding into the venues.

Onsite first aid training in London — workplace EFAW for your team

We run onsite first aid training across London and the surrounding area — your venue, your team, your schedule.

On-site Paediatric First Aid delivery is available across the City of London, Canary Wharf, Westminster, Shoreditch, the West End, Stratford, Croydon, Wembley, Greenwich, Bromley, Islington, Camden, Southwark, Hackney, Ealing, Richmond, Heathrow and Romford — a fit for nursery chains running multiple London settings, primary schools and academies, after-school and breakfast clubs, holiday-camp providers, large nanny agencies and SEN provisions. Booking a closed on-site group works well when 6 or more of your team need to renew their EYFS paediatric first aid certificate together.

About Paediatric First Aid training in London

Our 2-day London Paediatric First Aid course covers the full 12-hour syllabus for working with infants (under 1) and children (1 to puberty) and issues a certificate valid for 3 years. It is built around the paediatric first aid requirements set out in the EYFS Statutory Framework, so a nominated first aider can use it to evidence the qualification needed by Ofsted-registered nurseries, pre-schools and childminders in London. Public dates run from our central London venue with easy reach from the City and Canary Wharf via the Elizabeth line, Tube and DLR, plus the major rail termini for staff travelling in from Croydon, Stratford, Wembley and the wider M25 ring. We also deliver on-site closed groups directly at your nursery, school, holiday club or office crèche across the City, Canary Wharf, Westminster, the West End, Shoreditch, Stratford, Greenwich, Bromley, Croydon, Wembley, Ealing, Richmond and Heathrow — useful when a setting is opening, when several staff certificates expire at the same time, or when you want to train an entire team in one go. Sessions are taught by paediatric-experienced instructors using realistic infant and child manikins, with practical scenarios covering an unresponsive baby, choking, febrile convulsions, anaphylaxis (including auto-injector use), asthma attacks, head injuries, burns and meningitis recognition. We are a recognised training provider; certificates are issued in the trained adult's name and can be uploaded directly to your safeguarding file or Ofsted evidence pack. We recommend a short annual refresher between full 3-year renewals to keep skills sharp.
