The Onsite First Aid Training Company

Onsite group first aid training for UK workplaces

The Onsite First Aid Training Company is a trading name of Training at Work Group Limited and positions itself as a specialist in onsite and in-house group first aid training for companies and organisations across the UK. Its model is to send a trainer to the client's premises rather than requiring staff to travel to a scheduled off-site course, an approach the company presents as both cheaper per delegate and less disruptive to the working day.

The company states that its courses are Ofqual regulated and that regulated qualifications are provided as standard. It frames this as a response to changes in HSE first aid training regulations, under which employers must carry out due diligence on their chosen training provider. According to the material, an Ofqual-regulated certificate carries the Ofqual logo and exempts the employer from the HSE checklist of legal responsibilities, whereas non-regulated training leaves those checks to the company itself.

Course catalogue

The site lists a defined set of qualifications and short courses, several of them expressed as RQF awards:

• Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) — a one-day course described as suitable for low-risk work environments and as qualifying anyone as an emergency first aider.
• Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) — a three-day course described as comprehensive and aimed at high-risk work environments.
• Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) — a two-day course for those working with infants or children, stated to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
• Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid (RQF).
• First Aid Annual Skills Refresher including CPR.
• Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) Requalification.
• CPR and AED Training.

The company also indicates that, beyond first aid, it delivers training in other areas of Health & Safety and Professional Skills, offered onsite, by eLearning and as open courses.

How the onsite format works

For an onsite booking, the company states that the client only needs to provide a room large enough to seat all candidates comfortably. The trainer arrives with a laptop, projector, training materials and the accompanying training manuals. The company presents the format as suitable for groups, with its quotation forms describing onsite delivery as ideal for groups of two or more in one place and of three or more in another.

The stated advantages of training on the employer's site include a lower cost per person than a traditional off-site course, the ability to train more employees within the same budget, scheduling at a date and time that suits the business, no travel expenses for staff and immediate return to work after the session. The company also says its certificates are valid for three years.

Off-site option and national coverage

Alongside onsite delivery, the company offers the alternative of sending delegates to one of what it describes as more than 150 centres nationwide. Its quotation forms distinguish between "we come to you" onsite training and "you come to us" off-site training at one of those centres.

Pricing claims and current promotions

The company states that onsite, Ofqual-regulated first aid training can save over £100 per person compared with an off-site scheduled course. It specifies that this figure is based on an Ofqual-regulated Emergency First Aid at Work course for 12 delegates, compared with equivalent training providers, as of 30 January 2025. At the time of writing this profile, the site also advertised a National Heart Month promotion giving a £25 discount on a selected range of courses.

Quotations and response times

Prospective clients are invited to request a no-obligation, fully inclusive quotation, which the company says it returns within five minutes or less during office hours. The quotation and call-back forms collect name, company, email, phone number, enquiry type, course, number of delegates and preferred dates, and also offer an enquiry option for defibrillators.

Clients and sectors

The site publishes a testimonial attributed to Calor Gas describing the company as a partner that proactively trains and retrains staff across its sites so they receive certification complying with HSE regulations. The material also refers to a sectors section and to first aid training tips, although the specific sectors covered are not detailed in the available text.
