You end up with named first aiders on your wall chart, a signed certificate in the site file for each one, and a team that has already done chest compressions and packed a bleeding wound before it ever happens for real.

Course Options
Walk into a warehouse office on Oxford Road and you will usually find one green cabinet, a wall chart and nobody sure which of them is the trained first aider. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training fixes that by putting the right course in the room, in your building, with your own staff on the mat. Every course now includes life-threatening bleed control, taught with a tourniquet and a haemostatic dressing rather than described from a slide.
Emergency First Aid at Work
One day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, and a 3-year certificate at the end. It covers the primary survey, CPR, AED use, choking, shock, burns and scalds, and casualty assessment. For most small workplaces this is the qualification your first aid needs assessment points to.
First Aid at Work
The three day course, for higher-risk sites and larger teams. Same core skills, more time on secondary survey, fractures, head injuries and incident reporting. If you run plant, hot works or a busy kitchen, this is the level to train your staff to.
Defibrillator and AED Training
Pad placement, shock delivery and handover matter more than the box on the wall. We train on the unit type your site actually holds. Short session, high value.
- CPR and AED on adult, child and infant manikins
- Life-threatening bleeding, tourniquet and wound packing
- Choking, seizures, unresponsive casualty and the recovery position
- Minor injuries, hygiene technique and accident book entries

Certification and Compliance
The paperwork in the site file is what an inspector opens first, before anyone looks at the green cabinet. Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and the mental health courses are accredited by FAA, and we keep those two straight rather than blanketing one across the lot. Certificates run for three years and are recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE, which covers workplaces, nurseries and schools alike.
The Health and Safety Executive sets out that the level of first aid cover follows from your own assessment of risk, headcount and layout, so we talk that through before we quote anything. Whether you need first aid courses and training in Reading or first aid training in Milton Keynes, we cover the whole area with the same in-house team.
Trainers are ours. They are never outsourced to a contract instructor who has never spoken to you, and Rebecca Sullivan leads them, with over 50 years of combined experience across the team. Rebecca books the course, briefs the trainer and stays the point of contact if a date has to move. You are not handed off midway.
Paediatric and Specialist First Aid in Reading
Half the settings we train in Reading sit in converted Victorian terraces off Russell Street and Baker Street, with narrow stairs, coloured brick frontages and a first floor room that is nobody's idea of a training space. We work with what the building gives us.
Nurseries and Schools in Older Buildings
Castle Street, Castle Hill and Coley Hill hold most of the town's surviving Georgian villas and terraces, and plenty are now childcare or office use. Access, stair width and where a casualty can be laid flat all shape how we run the practical. Paediatric content is included in our Emergency First Aid at Work at no extra cost.
Conservation Area Sites
Reading Borough Council lists 15 conservation areas, including Christchurch, Kendrick, Redlands and South Park. Alterations are controlled there, so many sites cannot move a door or add a room. We bring the manikins, the AED trainers and the mats to the space you have.
Mental Health First Aid
FAA accredited, and useful on sites where the pressure shows up long before an injury does. Delivered to your team, in your room.
Training Formats and Group Booking
Most bookings start with a phone call about a room: a mess room, a staff room above a shop on Market Place, or a hall near Palmer Park. Training is delivered at your premises only, so the room decides the layout, not us. If you have been searching for a first aid course near you around Reading and across Berkshire, that call is the quickest way to get a date fixed.
Blended Delivery
Emergency First Aid at Work can run blended: theory online in your own time, practical at your venue on the day. It stays one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, with the same 3-year certificate and the same compliance standing. Useful when you cannot lose a full shift.
Group Bookings and Refreshers
Up to 12 delegates on a course keeps hands-on time real. Refreshers are booked before the three years run out, so nobody lapses. Whether you need first aid courses and training in Reading or a first aid course in Windsor, we cover the whole area, so multi-site employers can run the same syllabus across every location.
Aim2Aid Ltd, company number 16319053, is based in Windsor. Rebecca sequences each booking the same way: needs check, date, trainer assigned, certificates issued. One team, start to finish.
