First Aid Training for Work & Childcare Settings

Custom Training or Regulated Level 3 Qualifications

First Aiders need specific skills for different situations. From treating cuts and bruises in a childcare setting, to handling emergencies in hazardous environments… the challenge is varied, and often unique.

So when we say “first aid training”, we mean appropriate skills. Giving your team the tools for site-specific challenges, so they’re ready for common injuries and worst case scenarios.

Usually, we can offer this through regulated training, with recognised qualifications for a range of settings. But if your work is more complex – with unique or heightened risks – we’ll work with you to devise something more bespoke.

For Your Business

We have training packages to suit your type of business. Office work, emergency care, first aid for children or seniors… we’re here to help your on-site team respond to any incident.
For Third Sector, Education & Government

Offices, schools, care homes, public buildings, field ops… every space brings its own risks. So your first aiders need a custom mix of skills, to fulfil a duty of care to your staff and the public.

Learning Outcomes

Every first aid programme we run has its own unique focus, drawn from a range of life-saving lessons – including:

How to assess and treat an injury, with the tools available
When to intervene, and the risk of further harm
Calling for help and supporting the emergency services
Performing CPR, and when to use a defibrillator
Practising the recovery position
Treating wounds at the scene
Pre-empting further risk, like allergies and fainting
Protocols for paediatric injuries and illness
Treating anaphylaxis, chest pains, choking and other acute emergencies

Through bespoke or regulated training, we can bring these skills to your workplace – and improve your response to any injury, illness or emergency.

FAQs

Yes – our most popular first aid courses lead to a Highfields Level 3 award.

It depends on the kind of adaptations we make. Often, we can tailor the accredited training – putting first aid in the context of your operations – so learners still get a recognised qualification at the end. But if you need something fully bespoke, it may not meet the rigid guidelines for accreditation. That’s something we can discuss.

Yes, if you have a suitable training space with room for practical demonstrations. We can also deliver it here at our education centre in Hereford.

Regulated training is capped at 12 attendees per tutor, but that needn’t slow things down. If you’re on a tight schedule, we can bring in multiple tutors, with sessions running concurrently – and if the training is fully bespoke, we can allow more people into a session.

Emergencies can happen anywhere, so it’s always useful to include some emergency care. But serious incidents are more likely in some settings than others, and some types of emergency call for more specialist skills. So let’s discuss your work environment and choose an appropriate level of training.

Theory is only useful when it’s put into practice! So we mix classroom learning with open discussion and hands-on demonstrations, with every attendee getting involved. This will equip them to answer questions and pass a practical assessment, as required by the awarding body.

Yes. We’ll work with you to choose a training package that suits your environment, and add some bespoke elements if we need a more specialist focus. Then in the group session, we’ll discuss relevant first aid scenarios, followed by practical exercises that we’ll put in context.

If you’ve already faced a specific on-site emergency, we can bring it into play here and use it as a point for reflection.

Each successful learner is awarded a Level 3 certificate that’s valid for 3 years.

Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on.

The students really enjoyed the session and said it would be great if she could deliver more courses for the next group of Uniformed Protective Services students coming through. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.

“Minerva Elite Performance recently came into Hereford College to deliver Emergency First Aid at Work training to our Uniformed Public Services students. Molly was our main point of contact, and from start to finish, she was absolutely spot on. She was quick to respond to emails and really flexible in helping us get everything sorted.

On the day, she turned up early to get set up and was friendly, professional, and clearly knew her stuff. The students had a lot of respect for her. She answered all their questions, even the more technical ones outside the basic course content.

Overall, the service from MEP has been excellent. Easy to book, easy to work with, and the quality of the training was brilliant. We had 18 students qualify as first aiders, and they have left the course feeling confident and ready to use those skills wherever they go next. The students really enjoyed the session and said it would be great if she could deliver more courses for the next group of Uniformed Protective Services students coming through. We will definitely be getting MEP back in.”
