First aid training in Southampton usually starts with a deadline or a wake up call. A workplace certificate is close to running out and someone needs to stay compliant, or a person has realised that if a colleague collapsed they would not know where to begin. We handle both, right across the city.
We cover the whole of Southampton and the surrounding area, from the city centre and the waterfront out to Totton, Eastleigh, Woolston, Shirley and Bitterne. Courses can run at your own premises anywhere in the city, or your team can join one of our scheduled sessions, whichever suits you better.
First aid courses we run in Southampton
- 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, useful given the New Forest on the city’s doorstep
- CPR and AED training and Basic Life Support
- First aid education for school pupils, with bespoke sessions for school staff
With Southampton’s mix of offices, warehousing, the port and the two universities, we see a wide range of groups. Many of our trainers come from frontline emergency services, healthcare and education, and that shows in how practical the sessions are. People leave having actually done the skills, not just watched a slideshow.
We also work with Southampton employers who want to put their social value or CSR budget to good use by funding first aid training in local schools, and we take care of the delivery, reporting and liaison with the school.
Common questions
Do you deliver in Southampton, or do we travel to you?
Either way works. We run scheduled courses and we come to your workplace or school anywhere in Southampton once you have a group ready to train.
How quickly can you book us in?
For most courses we can usually find a date within a week or two, and often sooner for on-site workplace groups. It is worth getting in touch early if you have a fixed certificate expiry to work around.
Which workplace first aid 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. If you are not sure, tell us about your workplace and we will point you to the right one.
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.
