Emergency First Aid at Work Course in Ascot

Ascot sits at the centre of an affluent commuter belt spanning East Berkshire and North-West Surrey, with a daytime workforce concentrated around Ascot Racecourse and its hospitality contractors, Heatherwood Hospital, LVS Ascot and the schools and colleges of Sunningdale, Sunninghill and Virginia Water. Every one of these employers is legally required to maintain trained first aiders under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Our nearest scheduled Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) venue — the British Red Cross Centre in Bracknell (RG12 9EN) — is a short drive or single-stop train ride from Ascot, and for teams of six or more we bring British Red Cross-trained instructors to your workplace anywhere across East Berkshire so your people train in the environment they will actually be delivering first aid in.

Ascot is served by Ascot railway station with direct South Western Railway services to London Waterloo, Bracknell, Wokingham and Reading. Our nearest scheduled training venue (British Red Cross Centre, Bracknell, RG12 9EN) is a single short hop on the same line to Martins Heron, then a 13-minute walk. By road, the area is bounded by the M3 (J3 Bagshot) to the south and the M4 (J10 Wokingham) to the north, with the A329(M), A329 and A330 linking Ascot, Bracknell, Sunningdale and Windsor. Heathrow Airport is around 25 minutes north-east via the M25 (J13), making the area straightforward to reach for visiting trainers and corporate clients.

Looking for an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course near Ascot? Our nearest scheduled public venue is the British Red Cross Centre at 21 Martins Lane, Bracknell, RG12 9EN — around 5 miles west of Ascot High Street. It's a 13-minute walk from Martins Heron railway station, with direct South Western Railway services from Ascot, Bracknell and London Waterloo, and sits just off the A329(M) between J3 of the M3 and J10 of the M4. Free on-street parking is available on Calfridus Way, with Lily Hill Park and The Square car parks within a 10-minute walk. EFAW stands for Emergency First Aid at Work — a recognised course on the and the qualification HSE recommends for designated first aiders in lower-risk workplaces. The course runs as a one-day, ~6-hour classroom session and covers the primary survey (DR ABC), adult CPR and AED use, the recovery position, choking, serious bleeding and shock, minor injuries and how to assess and respond to an unresponsive casualty. Assessment is built into the day rather than sat as a separate exam, and learners go home the same day with a nationally recognised certificate valid for three years (HSE recommends a short annual refresher in between to keep skills current). For groups of six or more we also deliver on-site EFAW training across Ascot and the wider East Berkshire area — including Ascot Racecourse and its hospitality contractors, Heatherwood Hospital, LVS Ascot and the schools and colleges of Sunningdale, Sunninghill and Virginia Water, plus employers in Bracknell, Windsor, Bagshot, Lightwater and Egham.
