First aid training across Greater Salford 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 Salford 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 Salford, 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 Salford?
Training your team in Salford means using a dedicated British Red Cross first aid training centre right inside MediaCityUK, rather than sending staff into central Manchester or further afield. For the broadcasters, post-production studios and tech employers at MediaCityUK and Salford Quays, the healthcare workforce at Salford Royal and the wider Northern Care Alliance, the University of Salford, and large local employers such as BBC, ITV, AJ Bell, TalkTalk, Peel L&P and Salford City Council, the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require an adequate, appointed first aid provision based on a workplace needs assessment. A local, HSE-aligned EFAW course keeps that compliance straightforward and minimises time off the floor.
Located at the heart of Greater Manchester, Salford is a major North West economic centre, known for its media, technology, and public sector employment. With thousands of people working across MediaCityUK, Salford Quays and numerous business parks, employers have a clear duty under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Ensuring an adequate number of qualified first aiders is a fundamental compliance requirement for every local business.

About Paediatric First Aid training in Salford
This 12-hour Paediatric First Aid course is delivered over two days, covering the full spectrum of emergency care for children aged 0 to 8. Participants will learn how to manage life-threatening scenarios including choking, seizures, severe bleeding, and unresponsive casualties, alongside common childhood conditions like asthma and allergic reactions. As a recognised training provider, we ensure all content is HSE-aligned and follows current best practices for paediatric resuscitation. The course is essential for nannies, childminders, and staff in nurseries or holiday clubs who must satisfy legal requirements for child safety and welfare.
Upon successful completion, learners receive a certificate that remains valid for three years, providing peace of mind for both the practitioner and the families they serve. For those commuting from Bolton, Bury, or Wigan, our Salford venue is perfectly positioned just off the M602 and M60, offering a professional learning environment equipped with modern training aids. This training not only meets the criteria for the EYFS but also builds the confidence needed to act decisively during a crisis, ensuring the youngest members of our community in Salford and the surrounding boroughs are in safe hands.
