Manchester First Aid Training has delivered hands-on, feel-good courses across Handforth and the wider Cheshire East area since 2010, with 5,000+ five-star reviews along the way.
Whether you’re a Handforth workplace, school, nursery or care home, the legal requirement is the same: you need First Aid coverage that meets HSE and (where relevant) Ofsted and EYFS rules. We make it simple.
We deliver on-site First Aid courses across the whole of Handforth SK9, from Handforth Dean and Stanley Green through to Styal, Finney Green and Spath Lane. Whether you have premises on the high street or in an industrial unit, our trainers come to you. It’s why organisations like The Little Acorns Nursery and many other Handforth employers trust us with their First Aid training. Public courses run at our nearby Manchester and Stockport venues.
From the cafés, salons, dental practices and independent retailers around Handforth Dean and Stanley Green, to the nurseries and primary schools across Styal, to the care homes throughout wider Handforth, we train them all.
Our courses are different. No 6-hour PowerPoint sessions. No boring drills. Just engaging, practical, life-saving training that sticks, delivered by award-winning trainers. Hands-on practice with CPR manikins, anti-choking jackets and EpiPens. Real scenarios, real skills. We’re equally happy at a single-room nursery or a 50-staff workplace.
