First Aid at Work Course in Bristol

Bristol is the economic engine of the South West — a city of around 470,000 people with strong aerospace and engineering clusters around Filton and Aztec West, a thriving creative and tech scene in Stokes Croft, Bedminster and the Harbourside, a growing financial and professional services sector around Temple Quay, and major logistics operations through Avonmouth. Training your team locally — at our Clifton or Warmley venue, or on-site at your premises — keeps staff travel time and downtime to a minimum, while still delivering a fully, HSE-recognised course accepted by employers throughout the UK. Local delivery means a quicker start, less disruption, and a course built around your real workplace risks.

Bristol is served by two mainline railway stations — Bristol Temple Meads (national services including London Paddington in around 90 minutes and direct to South Wales, Birmingham and the South Coast) and Bristol Parkway in the north of the city (inter-city services to London, the Midlands and South Wales). Our Clifton venue (Engineers House, BS8 3NB) is about a 24-minute walk from Clifton Down station with the Percival Road bus stop one minute away. Our Warmley venue (Bradbury House, BS30 8XP) is on the eastern side near the A4174 ring road, with Warmley Station car park 6 minutes'' walk away. By road, Bristol sits at the M4/M5 intersection — quick access from M4 J19 (Almondsbury), M5 J17/J18 (Filton/Cribbs Causeway), and M5 J19 (Gordano) for traffic from South Wales and Devon.

The 3-day First Aid at Work course is the right choice for higher-risk workplaces — aerospace and defence facilities around Filton (Airbus, Rolls-Royce, MOD Abbey Wood), engineering and microelectronics sites, warehousing and distribution at Avonmouth and along the M4/M5, construction projects, large hospitality and healthcare settings — where the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate is not enough under your HSE first-aid needs assessment.
