First Aid is a legal requirement for businesses, and an essential life skill for private individuals. If you or a loved one has ever required emergency medical attention then you’ll understand that the skills of a qualified First Aider can mean the difference between life and death.
The First Aid Team is dedicated to providing first class, fully certified First Aid training to companies and individuals throughout Kent and Sussex.
We run regular open courses in Canterbury, Hastings, Maidstone, Orpington and Tunbridge Wells, and can travel throughout the South East to meet the requirements of organisations, groups and businesses.
All our regulated qualifications meet the requirements of the Health & Safety Executive and Ofqual, so please take a look at our website, or contact us for further information.
We are the First Aid Team, and we teach people to save lives.
Having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not only a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of you and your employees.
Our easy to use First Aid Requirements Calculator has 3 simple steps that should only take a few minutes to complete.

Mr PH Emergency First Aid at Work, Maidstone, 26th June 2018
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with training me on my first aid course this week. I have been putting it off for years. Now I am glad I have done it and feel confident in helping someone with first aid.
Many thanks and regards
