First aid training across Greater Paisley 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 Paisley 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 Paisley, 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 Paisley?
Paisley is the largest town in Scotland and the commercial heart of Renfrewshire, with major NHS, university, public sector, retail, hospitality and aerospace / logistics employers concentrated in the town centre and around Glasgow Airport. Training Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) locally — at the British Red Cross Centre on Smithhills Street (PA1 1EB), a 4-minute walk from Paisley Gilmour Street station — saves staff travel time into central Glasgow, keeps people inside the PA postcode area, and lets us deliver on-site closed courses across Renfrewshire and West Glasgow for groups of 6 or more.
As Renfrewshire largest town and a key part of the Greater Glasgow area, Paisley has a varied economy with strong public, retail and service sectors. It is a legal requirement under HSE regulations for all employers in Paisley to ensure adequate and appropriate first aid provision is in place.

Getting here
Paisley is exceptionally well-connected. Paisley Gilmour Street is a major rail hub on the Glasgow–Ayrshire / Inverclyde lines with very frequent services to Glasgow Central (about 10 minutes), and the town has three further local stations (Paisley Canal, Paisley St James, Hawkhead). By road the town sits directly off the M8 with the A737, A726 and A761 fanning out across Renfrewshire — and Glasgow Airport is a 5-minute drive. The Smithhills Street training venue is in the centre of Paisley, a 4-minute walk from Gilmour Street, with car parks a short walk away.
Onsite first aid training in Paisley — we come to your workplace

We can bring our equipment directly to your nursery in Barrhead or your after-school club in Erskine, saving your staff the commute. This is particularly popular for logistics and airport-based businesses near Glasgow Airport who require staff to be trained in child-specific first aid for public-facing roles. By training at your own premises, we can focus on the specific layouts and risks of your facility, ensuring your team remains compliant with local safety standards while minimising disruption to your daily operations.
