Additional Information
This course is intended to provide basic first aid skills only, and does not qualify candidates to be full workplace first aiders. The principles covered in this course are based on the recommendations of the Resuscitation Council (UK).
This is a practical course, and all candidates are encouraged to get involved and practise key elements of their training.
About HTS Training
We think it's always good to know a little about the people behind the companies that you work with.
Hi. We're Heather and Tim Sawyer, co-founders and Directors of HTS Training, the First Aid and Mental Health First Aid Training specialists based in Bedford. Along with our team of expert trainers, we work really hard to be the best first aid training company out there.
Quality Courses...
We work really hard to make our courses so good that your first aiders ask for us by name. So good that they'll want to come back year after year to train with us, not just anyone. And so good that they'll come away from their course so engaged and enthused that they'll remember everything they were taught, and will be able to call on it in an instant.
Great Customer Service...
And we work really hard to make your customer service experience so easy that you won't want to deal with anyone else. So easy that you won't have to worry about renewal dates - just ask for a report, and we'll send you one. Lost your certificates? We'll send you digital copies. Want a specific date, time or location? We'll do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
Exceptional Value...
So you may be thinking - all this service doesn't come cheap, right? Well, we're certainly not the lowest cost. But then you wouldn't want your first aiders trained by the cheapest trainers, would you? In the same way that you wouldn't recruit the lowest cost staff to fill your key roles. Or take a bungee jump attached to the cheapest cord. Or a skydive attached to the cheapest 'chute (you get the idea!).
But our courses are great value. We're significantly lower cost than the national brands. And when you add in our level of service and the quality of our courses, it's a combination that's really hard to beat.
If you'd like to know a bit more about about us to help you decide, please read on. Or you can hit the button below and ask us a question. We'll always be delighted to help.
