First Aid for Teachers in Birmingham

Birmingham is the UK's second city and a national transport interchange — sitting at the meeting point of the M5, M6, M42 and M40 with three mainline stations (New Street, Snow Hill, Moor Street). Training your team locally at the British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (B7 4BL) keeps travel short whether delegates are coming in from the city centre, the M42 corridor, Solihull or the Black Country, and removes the cost and disruption of sending staff out to London or Manchester. The venue is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street and one stop on the West Midlands Metro from Snow Hill.

The British Red Cross Eastside Rooms (Woodcock Street, B7 4BL) is a 9-minute walk from Curzon Street, around 12 minutes from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street, and one Metro stop from Snow Hill. By car it is 5 minutes from the A38(M) Aston Expressway and easily reached from the M6 (Junction 6, Spaghetti Junction) and the M42. Aston University pay-and-display is one minute away and several NCP and Q-Park sites sit within a 5-minute walk.

Onsite first aid training in Birmingham — we come to your workplace

We offer flexible on-site training for larger institutions like Birmingham City Council schools or multi-academy trusts across the West Midlands. If you prefer to train your team at your own premises in West Bromwich or Wolverhampton, our experienced tutors can come to you, tailoring the drills to your specific school layout and local hazards. For smaller groups or individual teachers, our public sessions at the Eastside Rooms—just a short walk from New Street and Moor Street stations—provide a professional setting with excellent transport links via the M6 and A38(M). This ensures your staff spend less time commuting and more time gaining life-saving skills alongside other local educators.

The curriculum is packed with practical skills, including CPR, the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and the management of common childhood incidents such as choking, head injuries, and severe bleeding. We also place a strong emphasis on managing anaphylaxis and asthma, two of the most frequent medical emergencies encountered by staff in Birmingham’s classrooms and playgrounds.
