Our venues serve learners from across the region, including Nottingham, Burton upon Trent, Leicester, Loughborough, and Chesterfield.

Is Emergency First Aid at Work accredited training?
Yes. Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is accredited by The First Aid Industry Body and aligns with Resuscitation Council UK guidelines. It is nationally recognised as equivalent to the Ofqual Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF). You will receive a certificate that satisfies the HSE Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 for workplace first aiders.
What is a "Blended" element?
The course includes around 4 hours of e-learning delivered through our provider, eLearn. This means you can complete part of your training online at your own pace from any device. You must complete e-learning before your practical day so you can undertake the required assessments. If you're unsure about anything in the material, don't worry. Your qualified instructor will be there on the day to answer any questions and help bring everything together.
How long is a Emergency First Aid at Work certificate valid for?
In line with HSE 1981 guidelines, your Emergency First Aid at Work certification is valid for 3 years. To keep your practical skills sharp and your workplace compliance up to date, we highly recommend booking a short annual refresher here in Derby.
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.
What should I bring on the day?
As this is an accredited programme, please bring your booking confirmation, photo ID and a notepad. All training materials are provided. Please also bring your own refreshments.
