Our training hubs in Derby
We use venues on Derby’s north and east sides to keep costs down and give you a simpler journey, with easier parking than the city centre.

Typical areas include Pride Park, Spondon, Chaddesden and Raynesway. We also welcome learners from Allestree, Belper, Ilkeston and Long Eaton.
Getting there
The A52 and M1 Junction 25 are the main routes in. We choose venues with simple parking and an easy arrival.
Frequently asked questions
Why use HealthCore?
Training should be friendly, confidence-building, and practical.
Our sessions are hands-on, scenario-based, and taught in plain English. We prioritize practice over slides, using industry-leading simulation equipment (from Laerdal and Practiman) to ensure realism.
We keep the atmosphere relaxed and supportive, ensuring every candidate leaves feeling ready to act when it counts.
As a nurse-led provider based in the East Midlands, we set a higher standard for safety training.
Your course will be delivered exclusively by Registered Healthcare Professionals with current NHS clinical experience. We bridge the gap between theory and reality, giving you the confidence that comes from learning from those who save lives for a living.
Don't settle for tick-box training when lives depend on it.
When will I get the exact venue address for my Derby course?
Listings usually name the area as clearly as we can, for example Derby (Pride Park) or Derby (Spondon), so you are not booking blind. Around two weeks before your Community Basic Life Support date we email the full address, parking notes and anything else you need for arrival, once that day’s venue is locked in.
Who is the Community Basic Life Support course for?
Gain the skills to make a difference when it counts. Our Derby-based Community Basic Life Support course has been specifically written for community groups, charity organisations and members of the public who want to go from a beginner or refresher level to being fully confident in delivering high-quality CPR and using an AED.
You will leave knowing exactly how to apply practical, life-saving knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Is Community Basic Life Support accredited training?
You can optionally undertake a formal assessment at the end of the course to obtain a certificate accredited by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB). There is no additional cost to this. We teach all of our courses using expert national guidance and they are led by highly experienced healthcare professionals.
If you are a health or care professional looking for nationally recognised training, we provide a combined Adult and Paediatric Basic Life Support course.
How long is a Community Basic Life Support certificate valid for?
In line with UK national guidelines, your Community Basic Life Support certification will be valid for 12 months. We recommend booking an annual refresher to keep your practical skills sharp and your compliance up to date.
Do I need any previous medical experience to attend?
No. This our Community Basic Life Support is specifically tailored to community groups, charity organisations and members of the public.
What should I wear for the session?
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing (like trousers and a t-shirt) and flat shoes. Our training involves active clinical simulation and practical skills, such as CPR and recovery positions, so you will need to move around freely and kneel on the floor.
