FAQs
Common questions
What does “blended” mean?
Blended courses split the learning between online theory (which your team complete at their own pace, usually 1–4 hours) and a shorter, hands-on practical session at your premises. You get the same certificate as a classroom-only course, with significantly less time off the floor.
Where do you deliver training?
We operate as a hybrid provider — online theory anywhere in the UK, with practical sessions delivered across Cambridgeshire and the wider South East. Get in touch with your postcode and we’ll confirm.
How many people can I book on a course?
Most courses run with up to 12 learners. We can run smaller groups (minimum 4 is typical) and link bookings together for cost-effective training.
Are your certificates HSE-recognised?
Yes — our EFAW and FAW courses meet HSE requirements for workplace first aid. Paediatric courses are EYFS-compliant for Ofsted-registered settings.
How quickly can you deliver a course?
For onsite courses we usually need 5–10 working days’ notice, but we often have last-minute dates available. Online theory can start immediately.
Do you offer refresher / annual updates?
Yes. We offer annual BLS & AED refreshers, mid-cert top-ups, and reminder notifications before your existing certificates expire.
Can I pay by invoice?
Absolutely. We invoice businesses on standard 14-day terms and accept BACS, card and PO numbers.
