First aid training across Greater Chester 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 Chester 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 Chester, 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 run First Aid at Work training 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.
