Ask what a first aid course costs and you will rarely get one number, because the honest answer depends on the qualification, the day count and how many of your people are in the room.

**Key Points**

- Workplace first aid training is normally priced per course, not per delegate.
- Emergency First Aid at Work is one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, with a three year certificate.
- A half empty room is the most expensive way to buy training, so fill the 12 places.
- Blended delivery, online theory plus practical at your venue, keeps the same duration and compliance.
- Paediatric content is included in Emergency First Aid at Work at no extra cost.

Aim2Aid Ltd is run by Rebecca Sullivan with in-house trainers who are never outsourced, holding over 50 years of combined experience between them. Whether you need first aid courses and training or first aid training services Milton Keynes, we cover the whole area, and you can see what employers say on our reviews widget.

Tell us the qualification and the headcount and Rebecca will send back a straight, all inclusive figure.

## How much does a first aid course normally cost?

Most workplace first aid courses are priced per group rather than per head, so the normal cost of a first aid course depends on the qualification, how many days it runs and how many staff sit it. Ask for a single quote covering the whole group, certificates included, and you will see the true figure.

## The qualification you need sets the price band

The biggest thing moving the number is which course your risk assessment actually calls for. Emergency First Aid at Work is a one day course, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, and the certificate lasts three years. First Aid at Work runs longer because it covers more injury and illness content, so it costs more. Paediatric content, defibrillator training and mental health awareness all sit at different points again.

Plenty of people ring up asking for a price before they know which qualification they are buying, and that is a fair place to start. The [Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/) (HSE) expects the level of first aid provision to follow from an assessment of the risks in your workplace, so a low risk office and a busy workshop will not need the same course, and will not pay the same.

Our FAIB accredited first aid courses are quoted plainly, with no per delegate surprises once the day is booked. Whether you need first aid courses and training or [a first aid course in Reading](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/first-aid-courses-and-training-reading/), we cover the whole area. One genuine saving worth knowing: paediatric content is included in Emergency First Aid at Work at no extra cost, which means nurseries, sports clubs and family run businesses are not paying twice for two separate days.

## Group size is where the real money is saved or wasted

Because training is priced by the course rather than the person, a half full room is the most expensive way to buy first aid training. Emergency First Aid at Work takes up to 12 delegates, so if you book for four and then send another four next quarter, you have paid for two days when one would have done the job. Filling the room is the single biggest lever most employers have on cost.

Training is delivered at your own premises, which removes travel time, mileage claims and the lost hours of sending staff off site. That is real money that never appears on a training invoice but comes straight off your wage bill. Whether you need first aid courses and training or [first aid training services Windsor](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/first-aid-courses-and-training-windsor/), we cover the whole area, with trainers travelling to you.

A few practical ways employers keep the figure down:

- Book the full 12 places rather than running two thin courses
- Pool staff from different sites or departments into one date
- Diary the refresher before the certificate lapses, not after
- Choose a quieter day so you are not paying overtime to cover the floor
- Use your own meeting room or canteen as the training space

## Blended delivery changes how much time you pay for, not the compliance

Blended delivery is offered as an option where it suits your rota. The theory is completed online in the delegates' own time and the practical assessment is done at your venue with a trainer in the room. For Emergency First Aid at Work that still means one day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates and a three year certificate, so the qualification stands up exactly the same way.

What changes is the disruption. Shift patterns, night crews and skeleton weekend cover are the usual reasons employers ask about it. The classroom option remains available in full, and Rebecca will talk through which delivery fits your business before anything is booked. Neither route weakens the certificate.

## What a quoted price should already include

A quote should be the whole job, not a starting figure. Ours covers the trainer travelling to your workplace, all training equipment and consumables brought with them, the assessment on the day and the certificates issued afterwards. There is no separate charge for room hire, because we are using your premises, and no add on for certification.

Aim2Aid Ltd is run by Rebecca Sullivan, and every trainer is in-house rather than outsourced to a subcontracted pool, with Rebecca leading them. Between them they hold over 50 years of combined experience, and that consistency is part of what you are paying for: the same standard for your staff every time, not whoever happened to be free that week. First aid courses are accredited through FAIB, and the mental health courses through FAA.

If your workplace is spread across sites, or you are budgeting for a rolling three year refresher cycle rather than a one off day, say so when you ask. It is far easier to build a sensible figure around a real staffing picture than to quote blind and revise it later. Ask what the price covers, ask how many delegates it covers, and the comparison becomes straightforward.
