First Aid at Work Training
Ofqual-regulated and HSE-compliant first aid qualifications for every workplace. Delivered on-site or at our UK training centres by experienced instructors.
Why first aid training matters
Every employer in the UK has a legal duty to make adequate first aid provision under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. The level of provision required depends on the nature of your workplace, the number of employees, and the risks involved.
Highbar Training delivers accredited first aid qualifications that meet HSE requirements and are recognised by employers across all industries. Our courses are practical, engaging, and delivered by qualified instructors with real-world experience.
