Not just Wakefield. We travel to you.

We're based at the Penny Appeal Campus in Wakefield, but most of our courses run at clients' premises: house-builders' sales offices, factories, care homes, schools and sites across West Yorkshire and well beyond. If you have a room and a group, we'll bring everything else. Individuals can join an open course at the campus.

Common questions

Either. Most of our training is delivered at clients' premises across Yorkshire — all you need is a room. Individuals and small groups can join an open course at our Wakefield training rooms; ask us for the next date.

Basic Life Support (half day) for CPR and defibrillator skills. Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day) for lower-risk workplaces. First Aid at Work (3 days) for higher-risk sites, supervisors and anyone whose certificate has expired. Holding an in-date FAW certificate? Take the 2-day requalification.

Everything: course paperwork, your certificate and the course book. There are no hidden extras. Group rates are available for on-site bookings.

First aid and fire marshal certificates last 3 years. Food safety and health & safety are usually refreshed every 3 years too. A personal licence qualification does not expire. We offer free renewal reminders so you can requalify in time.

Yes. First aid and health & safety courses can be tailored to any client — care homes are one of our biggest markets, and we add forestry and outdoor-working modules to first aid courses for teams working away from quick ambulance access.

Card payment online is on its way. For now, book through the form or by phone and we'll confirm your place and take payment before the course.
