First aid training across Greater Leeds 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 Leeds 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 Leeds, 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 Leeds?
Leeds is the commercial capital of West Yorkshire and the second-largest financial and professional services centre in the UK outside London, with major NHS, university, legal, retail, hospitality and logistics employers concentrated in a compact city centre and a tight ring of business parks. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the British Red Cross Centre on Armley Road (LS12 2LB) — saves staff travel time, keeps people inside the LS postcode area, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across the wider West Yorkshire region for groups of 6 or more.
Leeds is the primary economic centre of West Yorkshire and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber region. Its diverse economy, from financial and legal services to advanced manufacturing and retail, means a broad range of workplaces must meet their obligations under the Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 by appointing trained first aiders.
