Need First Aiders on your team in Shaw? We’d love to help.
Manchester First Aid Training has delivered hands-on, feel-good courses across Shaw and the wider Oldham area since 2010, with 5,000+ five-star reviews along the way.
Whether you’re a Shaw 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 Shaw OL2, from Shaw town centre through to Crompton, High Crompton, Royton and Newhey. Whether you have premises on the high street or in an industrial unit, our trainers come to you. Public courses run at our nearby Manchester and Stockport venues.
From the cafés, salons, dental practices and independent retailers around Crompton and High Crompton, to the nurseries and primary schools across Royton, to the care homes throughout Shaw, 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.

Sarah is a fantastic trainer. Really knowledgeable, encouraging with a very warm demeanour. Felt very comfortable and non-intimidating. Practical yet realistic. Would highly recommend Sarah. Thank you for today's training
Great tutor, delivered training at a good pace, kept us interested and involved.
Really enjoyable course with a superb trainer. The course was insightful, interesting and really relatable to my day to day work
I really enjoy this First Aid training. Emma was very friendly. I learn a lot from this training. It was a very informative time that I spent with Emma and Safia. Well done Manchester First Aid Training and OAK Community.
Joanne was the most energised, entertaining and informative First Aid course leader I've ever had. She did a wonderful job. The day flew by.
Had our training with Andy yesterday and could not recommend enough! He really took the time to go through and explain every part. We had a brilliant day and left feeling confident about what was taught. Thank you Andy!
