First aid courses and training in Windsor start with a look at the room you actually have. We ask what the space is, how many people need training, and what the work involves, then we build the day around that.

Course Options
Most Windsor bookings happen in a back room above a shop in the historic core, a converted Georgian front room, or a staff area in a Victorian terrace off Kings Road. Floorboards creak, ceilings sit low, and there is rarely a spare square metre. That is the space we work in, and it is enough. A CPR manikin needs a clear patch of firm floor, roughly the footprint of a dining table, and a defibrillator trainer needs a socket or nothing at all.
Which Course Suits The Work
The first conversation is about the job, not the syllabus. A small office with low risk usually needs Emergency First Aid at Work. A workshop with machinery, sharp stock or lone working usually needs the fuller First Aid at Work qualification. A nursery or a childminder needs the paediatric route. We will say plainly which one fits your workplace and why, and we will not sell you a longer course to pad the invoice.
What Every Course Now Covers
Every one of our first aid courses includes life-threatening bleed control. That means direct pressure, wound packing and tourniquet use, taught with real kit rather than described from a slide. Alongside it: the primary survey, CPR, defibrillator use, choking, shock, burns and scalds, the recovery position, an unresponsive casualty, minor injuries, hygiene technique and incident reporting.
Blended Delivery As An Option
If releasing staff for a full day is difficult, blended delivery splits the course. The theory is completed online in advance, and the practical session runs at your premises. For Emergency First Aid at Work that means one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, and the same 3-year certificate. Same qualification, less time off the floor.
Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work
Look at a typical Windsor commercial unit: two floors, a narrow staircase, a stock room at the back with a single door. Getting a casualty out of a space like that is a practical problem, and it changes how a first aider should think. We use your actual layout during the session rather than a generic diagram.
Emergency First Aid at Work
Emergency First Aid at Work runs as one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, and carries a 3-year certificate. It suits offices, shops, cafes, salons and small sites where the risk assessment points to a lower level of hazard. Delegates finish able to run a primary survey, deliver CPR, use a defibrillator, manage choking and control serious bleeding.
First Aid at Work
First Aid at Work goes further, adding secondary survey, casualty assessment in depth, fractures, head and spinal injury, chest injury, poisoning and a wider range of medical conditions. It is the qualification most workshops, warehouses, building sites and larger employers land on. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sets out that your first aid provision should follow from your own needs assessment, and we will talk that through with you before you commit to either level.
Refresher And Renewal
Certificates last three years. Annual refresher sessions keep skills sharp between renewals, and we will flag the renewal window rather than leave you to find the expiry date on a certificate in a drawer. Nobody should discover a lapse during an audit.
Certification and Compliance for Windsor Homes
Plenty of Windsor businesses run out of buildings that were houses first. A Grade II-listed townhouse near Sheet Street, a period cottage now used as a therapy practice, a flat on the Thames converted to consulting rooms. Fixings, wall condition and public access all matter in a building like that, and so does the paperwork that proves your people are trained.
Accreditation You Can Show An Inspector
Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB. Our mental health courses are accredited by FAA. Certification runs for three years and is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE, so the certificate stands up whether the person asking is an inspector, an insurer or a parent. Aim2Aid Ltd is registered at 70 Fountain Gardens, Windsor, company number 16319053, if you want to check us before you book.
Records, Reporting And Policy
Training is one half of compliance. The other half is the accident book, the incident reporting route and knowing what sits under RIDDOR. We cover reporting on every course, and we will point you at the gaps in your own written provision while we are on site.
Occupied Older Buildings
Working in an occupied period building means we plan around trading hours, customers on the stairs and a floor that will not take a heavy drop. Kit comes in by hand, sets up in one room and leaves no marks. Older buildings are our normal, not our exception.
Paediatric and Specialist First Aid
A nursery in a converted Victorian terrace has small rooms, gated doorways and a nap room upstairs. Child casualties behave differently from adults, and so does the equipment: infant manikins, smaller compression depth, different choking technique.
Paediatric First Aid
Paediatric training covers infant and child CPR, choking, febrile convulsions, meningitis awareness, allergic reaction and anaphylaxis, plus the injuries that actually happen in a setting full of children. It meets the requirements settings are held to at inspection, and the 3-year certificate is recognised by Ofsted and the DfE.
Paediatric Included With EFAW
Emergency First Aid at Work bookings include the paediatric element at no extra cost. That matters for a cafe, a salon, a shop or a church hall where children come through the door every day. You get both sides of the skill set on one certificate, and there is no separate fee for it.
Mental Health And Defibrillator Training
Mental health first aid courses, accredited by FAA, sit alongside the physical training and suit managers and supervisors who are dealing with pressure on their teams. We also run defibrillator AED training for sites with a unit on the wall, so staff have used the pads and heard the prompts before the day they need them.
How to Book
Booking starts with a phone call and a few questions: how many delegates, what the premises are like, which dates work. Call Rebecca on 07771 680794 and you will get a straight answer about which course fits and what the day looks like.
Trainers In-House, Never Outsourced
Every trainer is in-house. We never outsource to a freelance pool, and Rebecca Sullivan leads the team, though she does not personally deliver every session. Between them our trainers hold over 50 years of combined experience. That consistency is the reason the training feels the same on your second booking as it did on your first.
Local Coverage And Access
If you are searching for a first aid course close to home in Windsor, we are based in the town, so travel is short and dates are flexible across Windsor and across Berkshire and surrounding areas.

What Happens On The Day
We arrive early, set up in your room, and run the session with practical work throughout rather than a lecture with a demo at the end. Assessment is continuous, so nobody sits an exam. Certificates follow, and you keep the training records. Our reviews are on the site if you want to read them first.

First Aid Courses and Training in Windsor FAQs
Which first aid course do I need for my Windsor workplace?
It follows from your risk assessment. Lower risk premises such as offices, shops and cafes in the Windsor town centre usually need Emergency First Aid at Work, one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates. Workshops, sites and larger employers usually need First Aid at Work. Call and we will tell you which one fits before you book.
Can you train at our premises in the historic core near Windsor Castle?
Yes. All our training is delivered at your premises only, including occupied Georgian and Victorian buildings with narrow stairs and small rooms. We need a clear patch of firm floor for the manikins and we plan setup around your trading hours.
How long does the certificate last and who recognises it?
Certification lasts three years and is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB and our mental health courses by FAA. We flag your renewal window so a certificate does not lapse unnoticed.
Is there an exam, and what happens if someone struggles?
There is no written exam. Assessment is continuous through the practical work, so the trainer supports anyone who needs another go at CPR, defibrillator use or bleed control during the session itself.
