Where Can I Do First Aid Training in Birmingham?

We deliver first aid training at three Birmingham venues. Each one covers a different part of the city and suits different types of learner.

Choose the venue that fits your location, transport preferences, and workplace needs.

First Aid Training in Central Birmingham (Snow Hill)

Our Snow Hill venue is based at the Holiday Inn Express, Snow Hill Plaza, St. Chad's Queensway, B4 6HY. It sits a few minutes' walk from Snow Hill station and Colmore Row.

Trams run through Bull Street and St Chad's. New Street station is a short walk away.

This venue works well for office based teams in the Colmore business district, hospitality and retail staff across the city centre, healthcare professionals at city centre clinics, and individuals commuting in on public transport.

Parking is not included at this venue.

First Aid Training at the NEC Birmingham

Our NEC venue is based at the Holiday Inn Express Birmingham NEC, Bickenhill Parkway, B40 1QA.

It sits at Junction 6 of the M42, minutes from Birmingham International station and Birmingham Airport.

Free onsite parking is available for all delegates.

This venue is the natural pick for businesses training staff from multiple sites, and learners travelling in from Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry and the wider Midlands.

Group bookings from national employers find this venue especially convenient.

First Aid Training in Oldbury (Sandwell)

Our Oldbury venue is based at the Holiday Inn Express Birmingham Oldbury, Birchley Park Avenue, B69 2BD.

It sits close to the M5 logistics corridor, in the heart of the Sandwell industrial area. Free onsite parking is available.

Delegates give their car registration to reception on arrival.

This venue serves manufacturing and warehousing teams across Sandwell, care providers, nurseries and schools throughout the area, and construction firms working across the wider Black Country.

It is the closest Birmingham venue for many industrial employers.

What First Aid Courses Do You Run in Birmingham?

Under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, employers have a legal duty to provide adequate first aid provision for their staff.

At Safe Haven Training, we deliver all the regulated workplace first aid courses required to meet that duty. Each course is approved by FAIB and Qualsafe Awards. Content aligns with HSE, Ofsted and EYFS guidelines.

The same courses run at all three Birmingham venues.

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) - 1 Day

A one day Level 3 qualification and the most popular workplace first aid course in the UK.

It suits lower risk environments such as offices, shops, hospitality venues, and small businesses across Birmingham. Delegates learn the core skills every workplace first aider needs.

That covers CPR, choking, bleeding, and looking after someone who is unresponsive.

The certificate is valid for three years.

First Aid at Work (FAW) - 3 Days

A three day Level 3 qualification for higher risk workplaces.

It is designed for manufacturing, warehousing, construction and larger teams.

FAW covers more ground than EFAW. Delegates learn to handle a wider range of injuries and medical emergencies.

This is the qualification most Sandwell and Black Country industrial employers choose.

The certificate is valid for three years.

First Aid at Work Requalification - 2 Days

For delegates whose FAW certificate is close to expiry. It renews the qualification quickly, without repeating the full three day course.

Book in advance of your certificate expiry date. Late requalification is not permitted under HSE guidance.

Blended Paediatric First Aid - 12 Hours

For anyone who looks after babies and children.

That includes nursery staff, childminders, school staff, nannies and parents. Ofsted registered childcare providers must complete a compliant Paediatric First Aid course.

Our Blended Paediatric First Aid course meets EYFS Annex A criteria, includes baby and child CPR, and is delivered as a mix of online and face to face learning.

This course runs regularly at all three Birmingham venues.

Mental Health First Aid Training

We deliver three levels of Mental Health First Aid qualification:

Fire Safety Training

Our Fire Safety courses cover Fire Wardens and Fire Marshals, designated responsible persons, and general staff awareness.

Content covers fire prevention, evacuation procedures, legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the use of fire extinguishers.

Manual Handling Training

Manual Handling remains one of the most common causes of workplace injury in the UK.

Our Manual Handling courses are suitable for office environments, warehouses, hospitality, retail and construction settings.

In House and Onsite First Aid Training Across Birmingham

For teams of six or more, onsite training is often the easier option. We bring the trainer, the manikins, the training defibrillators, and all course materials to your workplace.

This saves your team the travel time and lost hours of a venue day. We deliver onsite first aid training across the whole of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

That includes Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, West Bromwich, Halesowen, and the surrounding towns and villages.

Onsite courses can be scheduled at short notice where the diary allows. Split day sessions are available for shift based teams.
