Our first aid training courses are nationally recognised and certified by governing bodies, which ensures that you have met the Health & Safety (First Aid) 1981 Regulations for your workplace.
Founded by Ian Bryan - an NHS paramedic and County Air Ambulance veteran with over 30 years of frontline experience - our mission is to make high quality, accredited first aid and health & safety training accessible and impactful for all.
We’re a family run training company passionate about helping people feel confident in emergencies. Our team includes NHS staff, paramedics, and emergency care experts who bring real experience to every course.
Safe Haven began its journey as Staffordshire First Aid Training, founded by Ian Bryan, a seasoned NHS paramedic and air ambulance veteran. Driven by a passion to save lives and make first aid accessible, we started as a family-run business offering affordable, high-quality training in Staffordshire.
This year marked a significant leap when we secured our first major nationwide contract with Pirelli Tyres. This partnership validated the strength of our training programmes and opened doors to working with large scale organisations across the UK.
We officially became Safe Haven Training Ltd, incorporating the company to reflect our growing national presence. With the new name came an expanded vision, offering training beyond Staffordshire and reaching businesses, schools, and councils across England. Our course offerings and instructor team also grew, bringing in NHS professionals and emergency responders to lead the training.
The pandemic posed a huge challenge, but we pivoted quickly. We implemented enhanced safety protocols, such as PPE kits, social distancing in classrooms, and CPR modifications, ensuring uninterrupted training delivery. Despite the uncertainty, we achieved major wins: a £250,000 contract with Dudley Council and a Contract with NHS Mid Cheshire Hospital. These milestones reinforced our reputation as a trusted, resilient training provider even in crisis.
By 2024, Safe Haven Training proudly achieved nationwide presence, delivering certified first aid and health & safety training from Cheshire to Cornwall, and London to Liverpool. With a growing instructor network and flexible training formats, we now support organisations of all sizes, from local nurseries to national corporations.
As Safe Haven Training grows, we continue our mission to deliver expert led, accredited first aid and mental health training across the UK - helping more workplaces and individuals stay safe, confident, and compliant every step of the way.
