At Passion First Aid, we believe that learning first aid doesn’t have to be dull.

Did you know that following a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a casualty’s chance of survival by 10%? Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the UK’s biggest killers, yet many are unaware of the life-saving difference they can make.

At Passion First Aid, our QA Level 2 Award in Basic Life Support and Safe Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (QCF) equips you with the skills to administer prompt, effective basic life support and safely use an AED in emergencies. With an estimated 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring annually in the UK, this training could save lives.

Can training be scheduled on weekends?

Yes, we offer training seven days a week to ensure we can fit into your care home’s schedule without interrupting your vital services.

Can we host the training at our venue?

Absolutely. We can run training on-site at your workplace, whether that is an office, a school or nursery, a care home, a restaurant or hotel, to keep disruption to a minimum. Alternatively, you can join one of our scheduled courses at The Pavilion, Kingsway, Gloucester.

How do you customise the training programmes?

Our training follows HSE recommendations and can be tailored to your specific workplace needs. If certain injuries or incidents occur frequently in your environment—such as burns or workplace accidents—we can focus on these areas to ensure your team is prepared. By customising the training to address real risks, we help ensure your staff are confident, competent, and fit for the workplace.

Is it really necessary to refresh our first aid skills?

Refreshing first aid skills is not a legal requirement for most workplaces, but it is highly recommended by the HSE to minimise the risk of skill fade. Regular updates help ensure your team remains confident and prepared to respond effectively in an emergency.

However, in healthcare settings, annual first aid updates are required as part of CQC compliance to maintain high standards of patient care and safety.

What does a typical training day look like?

Each session runs from 0900 to 1600hrs and includes a mix of lecture-based learning and practical exercises, all conducted at your location. This format is designed to maximise learning retention and empower your staff to apply their skills immediately.

What if our budget is limited?

We provide a range of training options to accommodate different budgetary needs. Let us know your budget, and we’ll tailor a programme that ensures compliance and quality without overstretching your finances.

What if we need training for a large workforce?

No problem! We can accommodate large groups with on-site training, and we offer discounts for group bookings. We bring all the necessary equipment, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Will this course disrupt our workday?

No need to worry. We offer flexible scheduling options and can deliver the course at your premises to minimise any disruption. Whether during business hours, evenings, or weekends, we work around your needs.
