First Aid courses

Our first aid courses run regularly throughout the year and are usually delivered on campus at the University of Bradford.

We also offer a flexible course schedule and can deliver training at a time that suits you, either on campus or on your premises. If you would benefit from a more flexible course delivery, please contact us.

The University of Bradford is a longstanding education establishment and is approved by the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) and the Royal Lifesaving Society (RLSS) to deliver first aid and Lifeguard Training. To help decide which training you need, please read the HSE First Aid needs assessment guidelines for employers.
