First Aid training for schools

We have been providing first aid training locally for over twelve years. Trusted by education providers our courses are engaging, highly rated, accredited and delivered only by trainers we employ directly.

Our trainers all have backgrounds in healthcare, emergency services, or related fields, bringing real-world insights and examples to the training delivered. As certified professionals, with experience in emergency care and first aid, you can be sure that the course you attend will provide you with the skills and confidence needed to react in the event of an accident or emergency.

We offer classroom-based training only for first aid as we do not believe that the skills needed to become a certified first aider can effectively be taught online. Our courses include practical elements to ensure all participants can confidently apply their skills in real-world situations. We use interactive teaching methods, including simulations, role-playing, and scenario-based training, to enhance learning and retention of knowledge.

All of our courses and regulated and fully accredited. We offer a full range of first aid courses suitable for every workplace, including;

Combined Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course
1 Day

This combined course is ideal for schools and childcare settings that require both first aiders and paediatric first aiders. 

This specially designed course provides the skills and knowledge needed to provide both emergency adult and paediatric first aid. The number of training days required to achieve both qualifications has been minimised and streamlined to avoid the duplication of topics associated with attending both the Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid courses separately.

What’s more, this course is formed from two regulated qualifications, which employers can book for their

employees and be assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks.

Combining the Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid and the Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid into 3 extended days of classroom learning, this specially designed course enables candidates to gain the skills and knowledge needed to provide both adult and paediatric first aid, whilst minimising the number of training days required to achieve both qualifications.

This course takes place over 1 day for up to 12 persons and can be provided at your location eliminating the need for teachers and school staff to travel elsewhere.

Mental Health First Aid
2 Day

Mental health influences our ability to function effectively and perform well in various areas of life, including work, studies, and personal pursuits. When we prioritise mental well-being, we are more likely to be focused, motivated, and productive. Conversely, untreated mental health issues can lead to difficulties in concentration, memory, decision-making, and overall performance.

Students like all people face a variety of challenges and pressures that can contribute to stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Mental health first aid courses provide participants with knowledge and understanding of mental health issues. This increased awareness helps break down stigmas surrounding mental health, allowing individuals to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental illnesses in students as well as fellow staff members.

Identifying the early signs of mental health problems enables intervention and initial support to individuals who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and prevent situations from escalating.

Our Mental Health First Aid course teaches practical strategies and techniques for offering immediate assistance to someone in distress. Participants learn how to approach and communicate with someone experiencing a mental health crisis, offer reassurance, and guide them toward appropriate professional help.

Ensuring Safety and Empowering Students

It is a fact that accidents and emergencies can occur anytime, anywhere and to anyone of any age. 

Introducing first aid training to students in schools not only enhances safety within the school environment but also gives students the confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations. 

Providing first aid training in school is an important step towards creating a safer and more empowered future generation. The provision of our first aid training specifically designed for school-age children, ensures the well-being of your students and equips them with valuable life skills, nurturing responsible individuals who can make a difference in their communities.

First Aid Awareness training can be provided per class and each student will receive a personalised attendance certificate.

Whichever course we can arrange to provide training at your school on a date convenient to you.

  • We have used safety and health limited for over 7 years to train the teams at all Rise Gym sites.  Paul has been our trainer every year - he makes the course fun and informative. The course structure is great and they always allow for time at the end for any extra first aid questions we may experience and need the answer too within the gym, which may not be on the schedule. Some people can find courses quite scary and overwhelming, this course is the opposite. The trainers are very helpful and understanding.  I can say that we will continue to book safety and health Ltd for our team training for the foreseeable
