Annual First Aid Refresher in Maidstone
Keeping your team’s life-saving skills sharp is vital for businesses across Mid Kent, from the logistics hubs near the M20 to the busy offices of Kent County Council. Our three-hour refresher at Hermitage Court provides a hands-on skills top-up, ensuring your First Aiders remain confident between their main certifications. This HSE-recommended annual session is designed for those currently holding a valid Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work certificate. It is the ideal way to prevent skill fade for staff working near Maidstone Hospital or across the Gallagher Group’s local sites. Note: this 3-hour refresher tops up your skills between certificates — it does not renew your in-date First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

First aid training across Greater Maidstone and surrounding areas
Our trainers run public Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid and Mental Health First Aid courses at central Maidstone venues throughout the year — with on-site delivery available anywhere across the wider region. Whether you're booking a single seat or training a whole team, you'll get a practical, HSE-aligned session led by an experienced instructor.
We support employers, schools, nurseries, charities and event organisers right across Greater Maidstone, from city-centre offices to industrial sites on the outskirts. On-site team training keeps your people in their own environment, cuts travel time to zero and works out significantly cheaper per person than sending staff to public courses — ideal for groups of six or more.
Why Train in Maidstone?
Maidstone is the county town of Kent and a major employment hub serving Mid Kent, the Medway towns, and the wider M20 corridor between London and the Channel Ports. Training your team locally — at our Hermitage Court venue or on-site at your premises — keeps staff travel time and downtime to a minimum, while still delivering a fully, HSE-recognised course that is accepted by employers throughout the UK. Whether you are based in the town centre, on one of the surrounding business parks, or out along the M20, choosing local Maidstone delivery means a quicker start, less disruption, and a course built around your real workplace risks.
As the county town of Kent, Maidstone supports a diverse economy of public services, retail, and logistics. For businesses large and small across the Garden of England, compliance with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 is a fundamental legal duty.

Our Hermitage Court venue is closest to Barming station (about a 13-minute walk) and the Hermitage Farm bus stop (3 minutes). By road, Maidstone sits directly on the M20 motorway with quick access from Junctions 5, 6, 7 and 8; the A20, A229 (Bluebell Hill to Chatham/Medway), A249 (to Sittingbourne and the M2), and A26 (to Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells) all converge on the town. Free on-site parking is available at the venue, and the Hounsfield Unit and Maidstone Hospital staff car parks are within a short walk.
