First aid training in Gosport serves a peninsula with a long marine and defence history, and a working waterfront of boatyards, sailing clubs and watersports operators alongside schools, care homes and high street employers. Working on or near the water changes what a first aid course needs to cover.
We cover Gosport and the whole peninsula, including Alverstoke, Lee on the Solent, Bridgemary, Rowner, Hardway and Stokes Bay, with Fareham and Portsmouth a short run away. Courses run at your premises, your club or a venue nearby.
First aid courses we run in Gosport
- Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work, for workplace compliance
- Outdoor and Activity First Aid, for work away from immediate help
- Paediatric First Aid and Emergency Paediatric First Aid, for nurseries, schools and childcare
- CPR and AED training and Basic Life Support
- First aid education for school pupils, plus bespoke sessions for school staff
For clubs and operators on the Solent we build in cold water casualties, drowning and the practical problem of getting help to someone on a slipway or pontoon. Our trainers come from emergency services, healthcare and education backgrounds, so the scenarios reflect what actually happens rather than a textbook version.
We also help Gosport employers turn social value or CSR budgets into funded first aid training for local schools, and we handle the delivery, the school liaison and the impact reporting for you.
Common questions
Do you cover waterside and coastal risks?
Yes. Sessions for marine and watersports teams include cold water immersion, drowning and casualty handling in awkward places such as pontoons and boat decks.
Can you train volunteers as well as staff?
Regularly. Sailing clubs, youth groups and community organisations make up a good share of our work, and volunteers can sit the same regulated qualifications as employees.
Which course suits an activity or sailing club?
Activity First Aid or Outdoor First Aid usually fits best, because both cover casualties who are away from immediate help and may need managing for longer.
Based in the New Forest, we cover the wider county too. See our first aid training in Hampshire page, or browse all our first aid courses.
