Dorchester is the county town, so the range of workplaces here is unusually wide. Healthcare, local government, education, retail and hospitality sit in the middle, Poundbury has added a good deal of office and small business space, and agriculture surrounds all of it. Whatever the setting, first aid training comes down to the same thing. Somebody on site has to be able to act in the first few minutes.
We cover Dorchester and the area around it, including Poundbury, Charminster, Charlton Down, Broadmayne, Puddletown, Martinstown and out towards Maiden Newton. Courses run at your own premises, or your team can join a scheduled session nearby.

Care providers, schools and offices make up much of the training we do in and around Dorchester, alongside rural employers who need something more substantial. Our trainers come from frontline emergency services, healthcare and education, so courses are built on real incidents rather than slides.
If you run a Dorchester business with social value or CSR goals, we can fund first aid training for nearby schools on your behalf and take care of the delivery, reporting and liaison.
Common questions
Do you come to us in Dorchester?
Yes. We deliver on-site at workplaces, schools and care settings across Dorchester and the surrounding villages, and we also run scheduled courses for individuals and small groups.
Do you train care and healthcare teams?
Often. We tailor the scenarios to the setting you actually work in, covering falls, choking, unconscious casualties and defibrillator use alongside the standard syllabus.
Which workplace course do we need?
Lower risk premises usually need Emergency First Aid at Work. Larger or higher risk workplaces need First Aid at Work. Describe your setting and we will confirm 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.
