First aid training across Greater Glasgow 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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow, 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 Glasgow?
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and the commercial powerhouse of the west — home to a major financial services district along West Regent Street and the IFSD at Broomielaw, a thriving creative and digital cluster around the Merchant City, two universities, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Scotland's busiest retail core, and significant manufacturing and logistics operations at Hillington, Cambuslang, Eurocentral, and around Glasgow Airport. Choosing a local EFAW provider means your first-aid training is delivered by trainers who understand the real risks Glasgow workplaces face — whether that's a medical emergency in a Buchanan Street store, a CPR incident in a Charing Cross office, a slip in a Govan shipyard, or a fall on a construction site at Sighthill or the IFSD. Our recognised, practical, hands-on courses keep your organisation HSE-compliant and your people confident to act when seconds matter.
As Scotland's largest city, Glasgow is an economic powerhouse with a diverse industrial landscape, from finance and engineering to a bustling retail sector. For any Glasgow employer, compliance with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 is a fundamental and legal pillar of workplace management.

Getting here
On-site training removes the travel question entirely — our instructor comes to your Glasgow premises with all the kit needed. For public courses, partner venues across central Scotland are reached easily from Glasgow via ScotRail services from Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street, the SPT Subway, and the city's extensive bus network. By road, Glasgow sits at the heart of the M8 (linking Edinburgh, the airport, and Greenock), the M74 (south to Carlisle), the M77 (Ayrshire), and the M73/M80 (Stirling and the north), with the Clyde Tunnel and Kingston Bridge connecting the north and south of the city. Delegates travelling from Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Cumbernauld, Clydebank, or Greenock will find central Glasgow well-served by train and motorway. Glasgow Airport (PA3) is 8 miles west of the city centre via the M8 and is convenient for clients in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
Onsite first aid training in Glasgow — we come to your workplace
Organising group training in Glasgow has never been simpler. We specialise in on-site delivery, meaning our experienced instructors bring all the necessary manikins, bandages, and teaching materials directly to your premises, whether you are based in a business park in Hillington or a school in East Kilbride. This removes the logistical headache of staff commuting via the Kingston Bridge or navigating the M8 at rush hour. For smaller teams or individuals, our partner venues are strategically located near Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations, making them easily accessible for those travelling in from Paisley, Hamilton, or Motherwell via ScotRail or the SPT Subway.
