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 Train 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.

Getting here
Our Chester EFAW venue is Abbots Well Hotel, Whitchurch Road, Christleton, CH3 5QL — just off the A41 with quick access from the M53 and M56 at Junction 12.

Onsite first aid training in Chester — we come to your workplace
We offer flexible training solutions that fit around the busy Cheshire academic calendar. While many local schools send individuals to our Christleton venue—easily reached via the Boughton Heath Park & Ride—we also provide private, on-site training for larger groups. If you are based at a large secondary like those near the Countess of Chester Hospital or a smaller academy in Ellesmere Port, we can bring the equipment to you. This on-site option allows your team to practice scenarios in their own setting, such as the school gym or science labs, ensuring the training is as relevant as possible to your specific layout and risk assessment.

About First Aid for Teachers training in Chester
This comprehensive 6-hour course is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the modern school environment, aligning with DfE guidance on first aid provision. As a recognised training provider, we deliver HSE-aligned instruction that covers both adult and paediatric protocols in a single, efficient day. Participants will master the use of an AED, learn to manage heavy bleeding, and practice the recovery position, alongside specific modules on childhood illness and injury. This dual-focus approach is particularly valuable for Chester schools that span from EYFS through to Key Stage 4, ensuring staff can assist both their colleagues and their pupils with equal proficiency.
Successful completion results in a certificate valid for three years, giving Headteachers and Governors in areas like Broughton and Whitchurch peace of mind regarding their health and safety compliance. Choosing local training at our Whitchurch Road base avoids the unnecessary travel time to Manchester or Liverpool, keeping your expertise within the local community. It is a professional, practical, and highly engaging day that empowers the Cheshire teaching community to act decisively during those critical first minutes of a medical emergency.
