Cornwall's leading provider of First Aid Training for individuals, schools and businesses

A comprehensive range of first aid training courses to suit your business, school or individual needs.

Whether you are an employer looking for Training Courses regulated by the Health & Safety Executive, or would like to gain some essential First Aid skills for life, our professionally taught courses are tailored to you, all satisfying HSE First Aid regulations.

First Aid At Home

More accidents happen in the home than anywhere else and most could be prevented or treated with a little First Aid knowledge and training. The majority of accidents involve children under the age of 5 and adults over 65, though of course no one is immune. Whether you work from home or want to know more about how to protect and treat your family, we can provide a course to empower you. Please ask about Paediatric Courses, Domestic and School First Aid.

First Aid At School

Every year, around 2 million children attend A&E due to accidents, many of which occur at school. It is vital that adults working with children have the skills and knowledge to identify, prevent and treat such accidents so that children are safe to learn and have fun. Whatever your learning environment and range of activity, our tailor made courses will help you and your pupils enjoy sport, classroom activities and play safe in the knowledge that you are prepared.

First Aid At Work

The 1981 Health and Safety Regulations require all employers, including the self-employed, to provide First Aid Training so employees can be given immediate attention if they have an accident or fall ill at work. Our courses can be tailored to suit your work space and activities. You are welcome to join an Open Course or we can organise onsite training for your team at your workplace (minimum 4 people). Please call for more details.

Outdoor First Aid 1-Day - Brilliant course packed with expert knowledge and practical instruction by Rich, in a relaxed environment within the fit for purpose venue of Mount Pleasant Eco Park, Porthtowan - My fellow peers and I had a great day learning first aid, and left with confidence in our capabilities when called upon in both the outdoors and regular workplace settings - I would highly recommend booking this course regardless of whether it's a professional requirement or not, you may just save somebody's life in the future by doing so - All the best to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting that day, take it steady!

What a great course! Rich was very good at explaining things in a relevant and interesting way. He even made First Aid fun! His light hearted and yet informed manner kept everyone relaxed and gave us all confidence in our first aiding abilities. The outdoor slant to the course was helpful and refreshing and meant there was an interesting bunch of other people on the course too whose company I enjoyed. Thank you!

The course was well-structured, covering essential life-saving skills such as CPR, wound care, choking response, and how to handle medical emergencies like heart attacks and strokes.The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the training easy to understand with hands-on practice. The use of real-life scenarios helped build confidence in applying first aid techniques. I also appreciated the opportunity to practice CPR on mannequins and learn how to use an AED properly.Overall, this training was informative, practical, and empowering. I now feel much more prepared to respond in an emergency. I highly recommend this course to anyone.

Richard provided an on site First Aid at Work course for 11 employees. The course was tailored to our requirements and delivered in a way that everyone was fully engaged and participating in both the practical elements of the course as well as the sharing of personal experiences relevant to the different topics covered. It proved to be a great team building exercise as well as an informative and essential life skills based course with benefits not just for the work place but in everyday life too! I would 100% recommend this company and trainer.

Thoroughly recommend. Down the years I have undergone many First Aid courses, run by other well known organisations. The quality of the training that was professionally presented by the excellent Josh, with an appropriate level of good humour, differed not a jot from other courses I’d enjoyed. The big difference was the competitive pricing for the course, which was excellent. The venue, in central Truro was great. I gained an appropriate certificate too - I can definitely recommend First Aid Cornwall.

A really well presented and detailed one day first aid course, the content was current, the practical work was fun but well led and supported. The facilities great and breaks times well planned. We will continue using them for all of our first aid training requirements.

Absolutely brilliant, highly recommend. Very thorough training, I've done a few different first aid courses and this was by far the best, diligent tutor, good location, etc. The online training was very detailed, learned a lot. There were practical exercises that were repeated until they were second nature, practiced until the awkwardness had gone. I've never been at a course that was so open to people asking questions. I wish everyone had to do a first aid course that was this thorough!

The two solid days of training never felt repetitive or unnecessary, and everyone in the group was engaged the whole time.Josh was a great instructor and had a good understanding of when people needed to get out their seats, have breaks, go off on minor tangents, etc. The instruction was always interesting and never patronising.I would recommend them, for sure.

I completed the outdoor 1 day first aid course recently and was really impressed with the course instructor Richard. A great mix of practical exercises, including detailed instructions and training, packed with knowledge in every aspect of first aid relevant to our own working environments and circumstances. A very relaxed learning experience, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions that were answered without any hesitation and without ever feeling overwhelmed by information. I would recommend anyone do this course as the information I’ve learned is going to stay at the forefront of my mind for a long time.

I completed a two day first aid course with Grace and it was fantastic! I came back to First Aid Cornwall after having a good experience with Richard's CPR course.
