First aid training in Devizes serves a market town surrounded by farms, canal businesses and rural employers, with brewing, tourism and a busy independent high street on top. Rural work brings its own problem, help can be a long way off, and a first aid course needs to allow for that.
We cover Devizes and the surrounding villages, including Melksham, Pewsey, Marlborough, Urchfont and the Kennet and Avon corridor. Courses are delivered at your own premises, farm or community venue.
First aid courses we run in Devizes
- 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
Farms, canal and outdoor businesses, schools and small employers make up most of our Devizes work. Because an ambulance can take longer to reach rural sites, we spend time on managing a casualty for longer, giving a clear location to the control room and dealing with machinery and animal injuries.
We also help Devizes 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 train farms and rural businesses?
Yes. Sessions cover machinery injuries, serious bleeding, crush injuries and how to guide an ambulance to a remote location, which matters more than most people expect.
Which course works for a rural site?
Outdoor First Aid suits sites where help takes time to arrive, because it covers managing a casualty for longer. For general workplace compliance, Emergency First Aid at Work is usually enough.
Can a small group still book a course?
Yes. We have a minimum group size for on site training, and for one or two people it is often cheaper to join a scheduled course.
Based in the New Forest, we cover the wider county too. See our first aid training in Wiltshire page, or browse all our first aid courses.
