First aid training across Greater Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester, 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 Leicester?
Leicester is one of the UK's most diverse economies — a major centre for textiles and garment manufacturing, food production and FMCG, logistics and distribution at Magna Park and along the M1/M69 corridor, professional and financial services in the city centre and at Meridian Business Park, two universities (Leicester and De Montfort), University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and significant retail at Highcross and Fosse Park. Choosing a local EFAW provider means your first-aid training reflects the real risks your staff face — whether that's a cardiac emergency in a Highcross store, a slip or trip in a Fosse Park warehouse, a manual-handling injury at Magna Park, or a workplace accident at a textile factory in Belgrave or Beaumont Leys. Our trainers know Leicester and the county, delivering recognised, practical courses that keep your organisation HSE-compliant and your people confident to act.
As a principal city of the East Midlands, Leicester has a diverse economy with strengths in engineering, food production, and distribution. With thousands of people employed across these sectors, businesses have a clear obligation under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to ensure an adequate number of trained first aiders are present.

By car, the venue is around 10 minutes from M1 Junction 21 and 12 minutes from M69 Junction 3, with the A5199 (Leicester Road) running directly past the door — making it easy to reach from Leicester city centre, Oadby, Blaby, Glen Parva, and out to Hinckley, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, and Loughborough. Free on-site parking is available at the hotel. The nearest train station is South Wigston (around 1.5 miles, 6 min by car), with Leicester Station (4 miles north) providing fast East Midlands Railway services to London St Pancras (1h), Birmingham, Nottingham, and Derby.

Onsite first aid training in Leicester — we come to your workplace
We offer flexible training solutions for Leicestershire schools and multi-academy trusts. You can send individual staff members to our regular sessions at the Holiday Inn Leicester Wigston, conveniently located on the A5199 with free parking, or we can bring the training directly to your school site in Hinckley, Loughborough, or Melton Mowbray. On-site training is a cost-effective way to train an entire department, from midday supervisors and PE teachers to office administrators. By training in your own environment, we can help identify specific local risks, such as proximity to major roads like the M1 or managing medical kits across sprawling Victorian buildings or modern multi-storey campuses.

About First Aid for Teachers training in Leicester
This intensive one-day course is the definitive first aid solution for the Leicester education sector. Lasting six hours, it combines the essential requirements of adult first aid with the paediatric elements necessary for a school environment, including EYFS considerations for those working with younger children. The syllabus covers life-saving techniques such as CPR, the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), and managing choking incidents. We also place a heavy emphasis on common school scenarios, including anaphylaxis, seizures, severe bleeding, and fractures.
Delivered by a recognised training provider, the course is fully HSE-aligned and meets the rigorous safety standards expected by Leicestershire employers and local authorities. Upon successful completion, delegates receive a certificate valid for three years, ensuring your school remains compliant with first aid regulations. This course is ideal for staff across all sectors, from those working at the University of Leicester to teaching assistants in small village schools in Lutterworth. With our venue just a short drive from M1 Junction 21 and well-served by Arriva bus routes, gaining these vital skills has never been more accessible for professionals across the East Midlands.
