First aid training across Greater Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading, 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 Reading?
Reading is a major Thames Valley hub with one of the UK's highest concentrations of technology, professional services and pharmaceutical employers. Training your team locally at our Eastern Avenue venue or on-site at your office ensures minimal downtime while meeting HSE obligations. Whether you are at Oracle, Microsoft, PwC, the University of Reading or the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, our EFAW courses are tailored to the office-based, laboratory and light-industrial environments common across Berkshire.
As a cornerstone of the UK's Silicon Valley in the Thames Valley, Reading has a high concentration of office-based and technology-focused businesses. Meeting the HSE's first aid regulations is therefore a fundamental aspect of corporate responsibility and risk management for companies here.
