[Call 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) Employers rarely want a price list, they want to know what a first aid at work course will cost their business, and why one quote differs from another. **Summary** - Cost is driven by course length, delegate numbers and delivery format, not by a per-person list price. - Full FAW is a three day qualification; EFAW is one day of about six hours for up to 12 delegates, both with a three year certificate. - Because training happens at your own premises, filling the group lowers the cost per delegate. - Blended delivery puts theory online and the practical at your venue, with the qualification unchanged. - Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB and our mental health courses by FAA, so the certificate holds its value. Aim2Aid is run by Rebecca Sullivan, whose in-house trainers are never outsourced and bring over 50 years of combined experience.

The cost of a first aid at work course depends on the number of delegates you are training, the length of the qualification and whether theory is completed online, because our trainers come to your premises and price the whole group rather than the individual seat. **Tell Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training how many staff need training and which qualification you are after, and we will confirm a fixed cost for a course at your own premises.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## What actually sits inside the price of a workplace course A first aid at work quote is built from a small number of measurable things, not a mystery. The first is course length. Full FAW is a three day qualification, while Emergency First Aid at Work runs as one day of about six hours for up to 12 delegates, and both carry a three year certificate. A three day course occupies three days of a trainer's diary, so it costs more than a one day course. The second is group size. Because training is delivered at your own premises, one trainer covers the group in a single visit. A group of ten costs the same trainer time as a group of five, which is why the cost per person falls as the group fills. That is the single biggest lever most employers have. The third is what comes with it. Registration, certification through our accrediting body, manikins, face shields, defibrillator trainers and bandages are all part of the delivery rather than extras bolted on afterwards. Whether you need first aid at work or [first aid at work in Reading](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/first-aid-at-work-reading/), we cover the whole area, and the same in-house trainers deliver it either way. ## How the number of first aiders you need shapes the total Employers often ask about course cost before they have decided how many first aiders they actually need, and that decision moves the total far more than any line on an invoice. Under the Health and Safety Executive's guidance on first aid at work, the number and level of first aid provision follows a needs assessment: what you do, how many people are on site, the hazards present, shift patterns, lone workers and how far you are from emergency help. A low hazard office of twenty people looks very different from a workshop with machinery. One workplace may be adequately covered by appointed persons and EFAW holders; another needs the full three day FAW qualification and cover for absence and holidays. Working the assessment through first stops you paying for a longer course than your risk profile requires, and equally stops you under-training and having to run a second course later. Whether you need first aid at work or [first aid at work in Windsor](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/first-aid-at-work-windsor/), we cover the whole area and will talk the assessment through with you before quoting. **Tell Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training how many staff need training and which qualification you are after, and we will confirm a fixed cost for a course at your own premises.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Ways employers keep the cost per delegate down There are practical, legitimate ways to reduce what workplace first aid training costs you over a three year cycle: - **Fill the course.** Bring the group up to the maximum delegate number for the qualification rather than running two half empty sessions. - **Train on your own site.** Delivery at your premises removes travel time and away-from-desk hours for every delegate, which is usually the largest hidden cost of training. - **Use blended delivery.** Theory is completed online in advance and the practical assessment happens at your venue. For EFAW that keeps the classroom element compact while the qualification, the up to 12 delegate limit and the three year certificate stay exactly the same. - **Diary the expiry dates.** Certificates last three years. Requalifying on time is cheaper and simpler than letting a certificate lapse and starting again. - **Combine your needs.** Our EFAW course includes paediatric content at no extra cost, which matters if your workplace has children on site. Full details of our [first aid at work services](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/first-aid-at-work/), including course content and delegate limits, sit alongside the shorter emergency qualification so you can match the spend to the assessment. ## Why a cheap certificate can be the expensive option Price only means something if the certificate stands up. Our first aid courses are accredited by FAIB, and our mental health courses are accredited by FAA, so what your delegates hold is a recognised qualification rather than an attendance note. Aim2Aid Ltd, company number 16319053, is a real registered company you can check. Our trainers are in-house and never outsourced, with Rebecca leading them, and between them they bring over 50 years of combined experience into the room. That continuity matters commercially: the same team knows your site, your risks and your renewal dates, so the second cycle of training is quicker to arrange than the first. A course that has to be repeated because the paperwork was not accepted, or because delegates could not use the skills under pressure, costs more than getting it right once. If you want a figure for your own workplace, the honest answer is that it takes two minutes of conversation: the qualification you need, the headcount and your preferred delivery format. From there the cost is a fixed number, not an estimate that moves. **Tell Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training how many staff need training and which qualification you are after, and we will confirm a fixed cost for a course at your own premises.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794)
