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.

What an experience! Josh was super friendly, helpful and relaxed. This made the course much more enjoyable and easier to take the knowledge and information on board.The venue was very easy to find, easy to access with parking situated nearby and not expensive for the day (£6-8).I would highly recommend this course to others in need of Paediatric First Aid/General. Thanks Josh, maybe see you again in 3 years time!

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.

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!

A really good day on a really important subject. Grace delivered the training at a good pace and kept us all involved. Another good course from this great team!Just redone my FAW, Richard came to our venue and delivered a very practical course with lots of additional tips. Teaching us how to look after people well more than just teaching us how to pass an assessment.

This was the best first aid course I've been on - and I've been on quite a few. 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. I highly recommend these courses for anyone who is renewing their first aid (physical/mental) or CPR, as well as those who are new to the training.
