First Aid Training for Trafford Workplaces, Schools & Nurseries

Need First Aiders on your team in Trafford? We’d love to help.

Manchester First Aid Training has delivered hands-on, feel-good courses across Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester area since 2010, with 5,000+ five-star reviews along the way.

Whether you’re a Trafford 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 Trafford M16, from Trafford town centre through to Stretford, Altrincham and Urmston. Whether you have premises on the high street or in an industrial unit, our trainers come to you. It’s why organisations like Hotel Football, the Trafford Centre and Trafford Council 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 Trafford and Stretford, to the nurseries and primary schools across Altrincham, to the care homes throughout Trafford, 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.
