First aid training across Greater Maidstone 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 Maidstone 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 Maidstone, 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 Maidstone?
Maidstone is the county town of Kent and a major employment hub serving Mid Kent, the Medway towns, and the wider M20 corridor between London and the Channel Ports. Training your team locally — at our Hermitage Court venue or on-site at your premises — keeps staff travel time and downtime to a minimum, while still delivering a fully, HSE-recognised course that is accepted by employers throughout the UK. Whether you are based in the town centre, on one of the surrounding business parks, or out along the M20, choosing local Maidstone delivery means a quicker start, less disruption, and a course built around your real workplace risks.
As the county town of Kent, Maidstone supports a diverse economy of public services, retail, and logistics. For businesses large and small across the Garden of England, compliance with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 is a fundamental legal duty.
