Basic Life Support (BLS) training is essential for anyone who wants to be prepared to act confidently and effectively in a life-threatening emergency. This course is especially important for healthcare professionals such as GPs, practice nurses, and surgery staff, many of whom are required to complete annual BLS refresher training to stay compliant with CQC and Resuscitation Council UK guidelines.
It’s also highly valuable for sports coaches, personal trainers, and community volunteers—anyone who may be responsible for the wellbeing of others in high-risk or active environments. BLS training equips you with critical, hands-on skills including CPR, safe use of an AED, and how to manage an unconscious casualty—ensuring you’re ready to respond when every second counts.

Excellent and professional training. Very engaging, with hands on scenarios in a clinical setting. Friendly and informative team. Thank you so much to Alan and Jo for the very important training in all medical emergencies, CPR and Defib delivered clearly and professionally.
Excellent training, exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
Very good
Really insightful! Thank you so much Jo. She really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is confident with the first aid training. She answers everyone’s questions very clearly, and professionally.
Absolutely brilliant course! Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Jo was amazing and very knowledgeable.
I learnt so much, it was really effective first aid training and Dani was so lovely!
I recently completed a first aid course at work, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Jo was clear, knowledgeable, and approachable, breaking down potentially overwhelming information into practical steps that felt easy to understand. What I appreciated most was the balance between theory and hands-on practice. We weren’t just told what to do in an emergency—we practiced CPR, wound care, and recovery positions. I highly recommend it to anyone—whether for workplace requirements, parenting, or simply wanting to be prepared.
Jo was great. Very informative and friendly.
Great training. Allan was very informative throughout, making it all relevant to our setting and to real life. Learnt so much today!
Excellent training - highly recommend! Alan was such a good trainer. Very knowledgeable and made the day really fun for all of us. Thank you! 🙂
I have attended many first aid courses during my career - 3 day and 1 day. Without doubt Jo's course was the best in terms of really getting the message across of what to do in the event of heart attack, cardiac arrest or accident. Her friendly but efficient delivery was first class and I feel much more confident now that, if I am faced with any of the above, I would be able to put into practice what I learnt. Thank you Jo!
