What qualification is the First Aid at Work course in Salford?

It is our First Aid at Work course — the higher-tier workplace first aid training, accepted by HSE, CQC and Ofsted. Once trained, you will be First Aid at Work qualified.

How long is a First Aid at Work course?

The full First Aid at Work course is 3 days / 18 contact hours (typically Monday–Wednesday, 09:00–16:30). A 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification is available for learners renewing an in-date certificate. Learners from the Crescent and University area and the wider Salford area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

What is the difference between First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work?

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a 1-day (6-hour) course suited to low-hazard workplaces such as offices and small retail sites. First Aid at Work (FAW) is a 3-day (18-hour) course required for higher-risk environments — manufacturing, warehousing, construction, engineering and food production — and covers a much wider range of injuries and medical emergencies. Our Salford schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby North West England towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around MediaCityUK and Salford Quays.

How long is the First Aid at Work certificate valid for?

Certificates are valid for 3 years from the date of issue. HSE strongly recommends an annual half-day refresher to keep skills current, and a 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification before the 3-year expiry date to renew the certificate. Most of our first aid at work learners in Salford come from teams around Trafford Park neighbours — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

How much is a First Aid at Work course in Salford?

Public-course prices are shown live on the booking page for the next available date in Salford. On-site group training at your premises across Greater Manchester is usually the most cost-effective option from around 4 learners upwards – request a quote for an exact figure.

Can you fail the First Aid at Work course?

There is no traditional "pass or fail" exam, but learners must demonstrate competence in practical skills (CPR, recovery position, bleeding control, casualty management) and pass short written question papers. Trainers coach learners throughout the 3 days so most pass on the day. We deliver this first aid at work course in Salford regularly, with classroom dates near Trafford Park neighbours for employers across North West England.

Can I do the First Aid at Work course online?

No. The full First Aid at Work course must be delivered face-to-face so practical skills can be properly assessed. A small element may be delivered as pre-course e-learning on blended versions, but the assessment is always in-person. If your team is based around the Crescent and University area or elsewhere in Salford, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

Where are the Salford First Aid at Work courses held?

Public 3-day First Aid at Work courses run at our British Red Cross Centre, Bradbury House, 4 Ohio Avenue, Salford, M50 2GT — right inside MediaCityUK and Salford Quays. Free on-site parking at Bradbury House plus the nearby Alexandra car park for delegates driving in. We can also deliver on-site at your premises anywhere in Greater Manchester — we just need a quiet room and floor space for CPR practice.

Do you deliver on-site First Aid at Work training across Greater Manchester?

Yes. We regularly deliver on-site First Aid at Work courses across Salford, MediaCityUK, Salford Quays, Eccles, Swinton, Walkden, Worsley, Irlam, Pendlebury, Ordsall, Trafford Park and central Manchester. Our Salford schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby North West England towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around Trafford Park neighbours.

Can you train first aiders at MediaCityUK, Salford Royal Hospital, the University of Salford and Trafford Park?

Yes – we regularly deliver First Aid at Work courses for broadcast and post-production teams at MediaCityUK, healthcare staff at Salford Royal and the wider Northern Care Alliance, and university and professional services employers across Salford and Trafford Park. Course scenarios are tailored to your workplace risk profile.

First aid training across Greater Salford 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 Salford 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 Salford, 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 Salford

Training your team in Salford means using a dedicated British Red Cross first aid training centre right inside MediaCityUK, rather than sending staff into central Manchester or further afield. For the broadcasters, post-production studios and tech employers at MediaCityUK and Salford Quays, the healthcare workforce at Salford Royal and the wider Northern Care Alliance, the University of Salford, and large local employers such as BBC, ITV, AJ Bell, TalkTalk, Peel L&P and Salford City Council, the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require an adequate, appointed first aid provision based on a workplace needs assessment. A local, HSE-aligned EFAW course keeps that compliance straightforward and minimises time off the floor.

Located at the heart of Greater Manchester, Salford is a major North West economic centre, known for its media, technology, and public sector employment. With thousands of people working across MediaCityUK, Salford Quays and numerous business parks, employers have a clear duty under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Ensuring an adequate number of qualified first aiders is a fundamental compliance requirement for every local business.

Getting here

The Salford venue at Bradbury House (M50 2GT) is best reached by Metrolink — Broadway is a 4-minute walk and MediaCityUK is around 7 minutes, with direct trams from Manchester city centre via Cornbrook. Mainline rail services run from Salford Crescent and Salford Central, and the M602 (J3) drops directly onto the M60 (J12) for drivers from across Greater Manchester, Bolton, Bury and Wigan. Free on-site parking is available at the venue.
