First aid training across Greater Bristol 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 Bristol 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 Bristol, 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 Bristol?

Bristol is the economic engine of the South West — a city of around 470,000 people with strong aerospace and engineering clusters around Filton and Aztec West, a thriving creative and tech scene in Stokes Croft, Bedminster and the Harbourside, a growing financial and professional services sector around Temple Quay, and major logistics operations through Avonmouth. Training your team locally — at our Clifton or Warmley venue, or on-site at your premises — keeps staff travel time and downtime to a minimum, while still delivering a fully, HSE-recognised course accepted by employers throughout the UK. Local delivery means a quicker start, less disruption, and a course built around your real workplace risks.

Bristol vibrant economy, a unique mix of high-tech engineering and a world-class creative sector, presents a broad spectrum of workplace risks. Adhering to the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 is a critical responsibility for every employer in this innovative city.
