Verwood has grown a great deal in recent years, and with it the number of small employers, nurseries, clubs and community groups that need someone trained on hand. It also sits on the quieter side of the Dorset and Hampshire border, where an ambulance has further to travel than it does in the conurbation. That gap is the reason first aid training matters here.
We cover Verwood and the area around it, including Three Legged Cross, Ebblake, West Moors, Alderholt, Woodlands and out towards Cranborne. We can train at your premises, at a village hall or club, or your team can join a scheduled course nearby.
First aid courses we run in Verwood
- 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 outdoor, grounds and rural work
- CPR and AED training and Basic Life Support
- First aid education for school pupils, with bespoke sessions for school staff
A lot of what we do around Verwood is with smaller organisations, from businesses on Ebblake Industrial Estate to preschools, sports clubs and volunteer groups. Group sizes are often small, which suits us, because everyone gets proper hands on time with a manikin and a defibrillator. Our trainers come from frontline emergency services, healthcare and education.
For Verwood businesses with social value or CSR aims, we can arrange funded first aid training in local schools and handle the delivery, reporting and liaison.
Common questions
Do you come to us in Verwood?
Yes. We deliver on-site at workplaces, schools and community venues across Verwood and the surrounding villages, and we also run scheduled courses for individuals and small groups.
Can you train clubs and community groups?
Absolutely. Sports clubs, scout groups and volunteer organisations regularly ask for CPR and AED sessions or a full course, and we will come to your usual meeting place to run it.
Which workplace course do we need?
Lower risk sites usually need Emergency First Aid at Work. Larger or higher risk workplaces need First Aid at Work. Describe your setting and we will tell you which one applies.
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.
