We ♡ Turning People into Heroes
Confidence is our weapon of choice. Here's how we do it...
Realistic, engaging and relaxed first aid courses
By providing a relaxed training environment, delegates are more likely to interact and ask questions.
This ensures that delegates go away feeling more confident and are therefore more prepared to help and assist with emergencies both inside and outside the workplace.
One of the reasons that over 98% of the 120,000+ first aiders we have trained rate us as excellent.
Call our team on 0330 335 1234 to find the best course for you.
Defib included as standard on every course
With an increasing amount of defibs (AEDs) in workplaces and the community we train everyone to feel confident in using them.
Together we are working towards reducing the 250 people that die every day of sudden cardiac arrest in the UK.
We're on a mission to fill the UK with Heroes-on-Standby!

Baby and child first aid covered as standard
Training choking and resuscitation of babies and children as standard.
Even if workplaces don’t have children onsite, our first aiders can have confidence at home too.
The more confident the first aider - the better they will be in an emergency.
Tests banished to concentrate on practical time
Having no stressful tests on courses, so we can concentrate on confidence building practice time.
That's why we guarantee that everyone that trains with us will leave as a confident first aider, or we will refund & retrain for free!

100% Money Back Confidence Guarantee!
