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.

Getting here
Cardiff is one of the best-connected cities in Wales. Cardiff Central is a major rail hub with direct services to London Paddington (around 1h50), Bristol, Manchester and the South West, while Cardiff Queen Street serves the Valleys lines. By road the city sits directly on the M4, with the A470 running north into the Valleys and the A4232 (Peripheral Distributor Road) wrapping around the south and west. The Mercure Cardiff North training venue is just off Junction 30 of the M4 with free on-site parking, and the Queenwood bus stop is a 5-minute walk away.
Onsite first aid training in Cardiff — we come to your workplace
We understand that coordinating staff training for a large nursery or school across South Wales can be a logistical challenge. To support local providers, we offer flexible on-site training options throughout Cardiff and the surrounding Valleys. Our trainers can travel directly to your facility in Newport, Caerphilly, or Pontypridd, reducing travel time for your team. This bespoke service is particularly popular with schools and holiday clubs near the A470 and M4 junction 30, allowing your staff to learn in their own familiar environment. For smaller teams or individuals, our regular sessions at the Mercure Cardiff North offer a central, accessible hub with ample parking and excellent rail links via Cardiff Central and Queen Street.

About Paediatric First Aid training in Cardiff
This two-day, 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course is a robust solution for anyone working in the Welsh childcare sector. As a recognised training provider, we deliver a syllabus that remains strictly HSE-aligned and fully compliant with the EYFS Statutory Framework. The course content is specifically tailored to the needs of those caring for babies, infants, and children up to age eight. Participants will gain hands-on experience in managing a wide range of scenarios, including choking, seizures, allergic reactions, and resuscitation techniques. This makes the training indispensable for staff at Cardiff Council nurseries, local primary schools, and private childcare settings across Llantrisant and the surrounding areas.
Upon successful completion, each attendee receives a certificate that is valid for three years, ensuring your setting remains compliant with safety standards. The course is structured to be both engaging and practical, ensuring that childminders and nursery practitioners leave with the skills needed to act decisively in an emergency. With Cardiff being the hub for media, public sector, and life sciences in Wales, maintaining a high standard of first aid is vital for the safety of families throughout the city. Join us at our M4-adjacent training centre to secure your recognised certification and provide the best possible care for the children in your charge.
