First aid training in Portsmouth covers a dense, busy city, from the naval base and the dockyard to offices, shops, schools and the many care and hospitality employers across Portsea Island. Most bookings start the same way, a certificate needs renewing or someone wants to be sure they would cope in a real emergency.
We deliver across Portsmouth and the surrounding area, including Southsea, Cosham, Fratton, Portchester and out towards Havant and Waterlooville. Courses run at your own premises or you can join one of our scheduled sessions, whichever fits your team.
First aid courses we run in Portsmouth
- Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work, for workplace compliance
- Paediatric First Aid, for nurseries, schools and childcare settings
- Outdoor and Waterside First Aid, useful for coastal, events and activity work
- CPR and AED training and Basic Life Support
- First aid education for school pupils, with bespoke sessions for school staff
With so many offices, retail sites, care homes and hospitality venues packed into the city, we train a wide spread of groups. Many of our trainers come from frontline emergency services, healthcare and education, and it shows in how practical the sessions are. People leave having done the skills, not just watched a slideshow.
We also help Portsmouth employers turn social value or CSR budgets into funded first aid training for local schools, and we handle the delivery, reporting and school liaison for you.
Common questions
Do you deliver in Portsmouth, or do we come to you?
Either works. We run scheduled courses and we come to your workplace or school across Portsmouth and Portsea Island once you have a group ready.
Do you train care and hospitality teams?
Regularly. Care homes, hotels and leisure venues are a big part of our city work, and we shape the scenarios around the risks your staff are most likely to meet.
Which workplace course do we need?
Most low risk offices and shops need Emergency First Aid at Work, a one day course. Larger or higher risk sites usually need the three day First Aid at Work. Tell us about your workplace and we will confirm.
Based in the New Forest, we also cover the rest of the county. See our first aid training in Hampshire page for the full picture.
