Aid Training was founded in 1998 by an ex Royal Marine, primarily in the early days as a First Aid training company. It was originally based in Plymouth but with the advent of more national training contracts moved to Warminster in 2004 to a more central location, allowing easier access to London and the Midlands. This move also coincided with a key member of staff coming on board – Paula Farrell. We are still asked, “Why have you stayed in Warminster?” – the simple answer is because we don’t want to loose Paula, and now also the other eight members of the support team who have since joined the office team and live locally.

Now 13 years on the range of courses has dramatically expanded, to stay pace with client demands, as has the workforce – both trainers and administration.

We now offer a full range of Health and Safety related courses along with numerous Instructor training programs. We have full national coverage and also undertake overseas contracts on a regular basis.

Our standards can now be measured from our client list, our trainer’s backgrounds and the numerous awarding bodies we are associated with.

In 2006 the DVD Production unit was launched to complement the range of training resources we offer. We have developed cutting edge support material for our own trainers as well as a commercial release: Essential First Aid updates DVD. The team are regularly commissioned to develop bespoke training materials. Using the Client’s own location and staff this is an innovative approach for companies wishing to standardise their in-house programs.

Whether a small company or Multi – National our approach is to deliver “above expectation”, we hope to do the same for you!

As the Royal National Lifeboat Institution said about us – “Their deep and genuine commitment to deliver what is required ……….. they are an organisation whose own standards drive them to make a difference over and beyond what is expected.' We could not have put it better ourselves!!!!
