The job starts with a phone call about what your Slough premises actually does, then a quote, then a date in the diary, then a trainer on your doorstep with a bag of manikins and a training AED, setting up in the room you nominated.

Course Options
A unit on the Slough Trading Estate has hard floors, racking and a mezzanine, and the first aid box is usually bolted to a wall by the loading door. That layout decides which course a team needs, because a warehouse casualty on concrete is a different job to a desk collapse in an office. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training works from what the premises actually contain.
The courses on offer cover Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, paediatric first aid, defibrillator use and mental health training. All first aid training is accredited by FAIB. The mental health courses are accredited by FAA. Rebecca leads an in-house team of trainers, and no session is passed to an outside contractor.
- Emergency First Aid at Work: one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates.
- First Aid at Work for the appointed first aiders on site.
- Paediatric first aid for nurseries, schools and clubs.

Between them, the trainers hold over 50 years of combined experience.

Emergency First Aid at Work
Most Slough workplaces that book this course have one thing in common: a single mess room with a kettle, a long table and enough chairs. That room is all the space the course needs. Emergency First Aid at Work runs one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, and it leads to a 3-year certificate.
Delegates practise CPR on a manikin, work through the primary survey, put an unresponsive casualty into the recovery position, deal with choking, shock, burns and scalds, and train life-threatening bleed control, which is now included on every course. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets out in its first aid guidance that provision must match the risk in your workplace, and this course is the standard fit for a low-risk site.
For staff with children in their care, the paediatric element is included at no extra cost. One day, one room, one certificate.

Course Content and Learning Outcomes in Slough
The kit that arrives is a bag of manikins, face shields, a training AED, bandages and a tourniquet trainer. It comes in on a trolley and goes out the same way. Nothing is drilled, nothing is fixed to a wall and no floor covering is lifted.
Casualty assessment and life support
The morning covers the primary survey, casualty assessment, airway management and chest compressions to the correct depth. Delegates take turns on the manikin so every person has hands on the chest, not just the loudest one in the room.
Bleeding, burns and everyday injuries
The afternoon moves to life-threatening bleeding, wound packing, dressings, burns and scalds, minor injuries and hygiene techniques. Estate workshops in Chalvey and Cippenham see cuts from sheet metal and blade work, so bleed control gets real time rather than a mention.
Records and reporting
Delegates leave knowing how to fill in an accident book, what belongs in an incident report and where RIDDOR obligations start. Paperwork protects the first aider as much as the casualty.
First Aid at Work and How to Book
Larger premises on the Trading Estate often need a named first aider per shift, not a room full of basics. First Aid at Work is the qualification for those people, and it carries the same 3-year certificate recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. If you are not sure which first aid course your risk assessment points to, say what the site does and Rebecca will tell you straight.
Booking runs in a set order. You ring 07771 680794 or send an enquiry. You get a quote at no charge. You confirm a date, a room and a headcount. A trainer arrives with the kit, sets up in the room you nominated and starts. Certificates follow the course.
Training is delivered at your own premises only, across Slough and Berkshire and surrounding areas.
Paediatric and Specialist First Aid in Slough
Nurseries in Langley and Britwell tend to occupy converted post-war housing or a single-storey hall with a hatch to the kitchen. Low chairs, soft flooring and a rota that cannot stop. The course is staged around that.
Nurseries and pre-schools
Paediatric first aid covers infant and child CPR, choking, febrile convulsions, allergic reaction and head injury. Sessions run after hours or on a closure day so the setting keeps its ratios during the working week.
Schools, clubs and community halls
Slough has nine parks and 254 hectares of open space, so sports clubs and holiday schemes make up a fair share of the work. Those groups usually train in a hall with the tables pushed back and the mats already down.
Workplaces with mixed duties
Where staff cover both adults and children, the Emergency First Aid at Work course with paediatric content included at no extra cost handles both in one day.
Certification and Compliance
An out-of-date certificate in a folder is worth nothing to an inspector. Each first aid certificate lasts three years and is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE, with FAIB accreditation behind the first aid courses and FAA behind the mental health courses.
Delegates are assessed continuously through the day rather than sat in front of a written exam at the end. A trainer will work with anyone struggling on compressions or on a bandage until the skill is there. Renewal is a diary job: book the refresher before the three years run out and there is no gap in your cover.
Aim2Aid Ltd is a registered company, number 16319053, based in Windsor. Compliance you can show, not claim.
Training Formats and Group Booking
Slough premises range from 1930s flats on the Salt Hill and Baylis estates to steel-framed units off the A4, and access is rarely the same twice. Trainers work with what the building gives them: a canteen, a meeting room, a hall, a corner of a mezzanine with the racking behind a barrier.
Blended delivery is an option on Emergency First Aid at Work. Staff complete the theory online in their own time, then attend the practical at your premises. The course still runs one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, with the same 3-year certificate at the end.
Group bookings for your staff work best split across two dates so half the team stays on the floor. Evenings and weekends are available for shift sites. Ask Rebecca for a quote for your workplace and you will get a price and a date, not a sales call. Your room comes back the way it was found.

People Also Ask: First Aid Courses and Training in Slough
Which first aid course does my Slough workplace need?
Most low-risk offices and small sites need Emergency First Aid at Work, one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates. Higher-risk premises such as the units on Slough Trading Estate usually need First Aid at Work for their named first aiders. Tell Rebecca what the site does and she will point you to the right one.
Can the training be delivered at our own premises in Slough?
Yes, and only that way. Trainers come to your premises anywhere in Slough and across Berkshire and surrounding areas, whether that is a canteen in Cippenham, a nursery hall in Langley or a meeting room off the A4.
How much does a first aid training course cost?
Price depends on the course, the number of delegates and the date. Quotes are free, so call 07771 680794 with your headcount and the type of work your staff do, and you will get a figure for your workplace.
How long does the certificate last and who recognises it?
Three years. First aid courses are accredited by FAIB, mental health courses by FAA, and the certification is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE.
Will the course shut down a room in our Slough building for days?
No. Emergency First Aid at Work is one day, about six hours, in one room you nominate, and the kit comes in and out on a trolley. Blended delivery cuts the on-site time further by moving the theory online, and group bookings can be split across two dates so half your team stays working.
