Ferndown is one of the busiest employment areas in east Dorset, largely because of the industrial estate on its edge. Engineering, manufacturing, warehousing, motor trade and distribution all sit within a few streets of each other, and those are exactly the workplaces where an injury tends to be serious when it happens. First aid training in Ferndown is usually about being ready for that, not just satisfying a requirement.
We cover Ferndown and the area around it, including West Parley, Longham, Stapehill, Hampreston, West Moors and out towards Three Legged Cross. Training runs at your own site, which for most industrial units is the sensible option, or your team can join a scheduled course nearby.
First aid courses we run in Ferndown
- Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work, for workplace compliance
- Paediatric First Aid, for nurseries, schools and childcare settings
- Outdoor and Forestry First Aid, for grounds, tree and outdoor work teams
- CPR and AED training and Basic Life Support
- First aid education for school pupils, with bespoke sessions for school staff
Higher risk sites need more than the basics. Catastrophic bleeding, crush injuries, burns and unconscious casualties are the situations worth rehearsing on an industrial estate, and we build them into the practical work. Our trainers come from frontline emergency services, healthcare and education, so the scenarios reflect what actually turns up.
If you run a Ferndown business with social value or CSR goals, we can fund first aid training for nearby schools on your behalf and handle the delivery, reporting and school liaison.
Common questions
Do you come to us in Ferndown?
Yes. We deliver on-site across Ferndown Industrial Estate and the wider area, and we also run scheduled courses for individuals and small groups.
Do you cover higher risk and machinery based workplaces?
We do. Where there is machinery, working at height or heavy vehicles on site, we make sure the training covers serious bleeding, crush injury and casualty handling as well as the standard syllabus.
Which workplace course do we need?
Offices and lower risk premises usually need Emergency First Aid at Work. Workshops, warehouses and larger sites generally need First Aid at Work. Tell us about the work and we will point you to the right course.
Based in the New Forest, we also cover the rest of the county. See our first aid training in Dorset page for the full picture.
