First aid training across Greater Cardiff 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff, 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 Cardiff?
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the commercial, media and public sector heart of the South Wales region, with major NHS, Welsh Government, university, BBC Cymru Wales, financial services, retail and hospitality employers concentrated in the city centre, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the Mercure Cardiff North on Circle Way East (CF23 9XF), just off Junction 30 of the M4 — keeps staff inside the CF postcode area, saves cross-border travel time, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider South Wales region for groups of 6 or more.
As the capital of Wales, Cardiff boasts a dynamic economy ranging from major public services and financial institutions to a burgeoning media sector. For all Welsh businesses, fulfilling the first-aid duties mandated by the HSE is a crucial legal obligation to protect both staff and the public.

About First Aid for Teachers training in Cardiff
This comprehensive 6-hour course is designed as a bridge between standard workplace first aid and the specific requirements of the education sector. Recognised as an HSE-aligned training provider, we deliver a syllabus that satisfies the needs of both adult and paediatric first aid in a school setting. Participants will master life-saving techniques including CPR, the use of an AED, and managing severe bleeding. Crucially, we focus on childhood-specific incidents such as anaphylaxis, asthma attacks, head injuries from PE, and choking, aligning with DfE guidance for school safety. This dual-focus approach ensures staff are competent in treating both their fellow colleagues and the children under their care.
The training is highly interactive, moving away from dry theory to hands-on practice that mirrors the fast-paced nature of Cardiff’s school life. Upon successful completion, learners receive a certificate valid for 3 years, confirming their status as a workplace first aider. This qualification is ideal for teachers, TAs, and administrative staff across Newport, Cardiff Bay, and the wider South Wales region. By choosing a recognised training provider, your school ensures compliance with health and safety recommendations while empowering staff with the skills to save lives in the heart of our Welsh communities.
