Training Delivered by Clinically Qualified Experts

At Hive Collaborative, your training is delivered by professionals with real-world emergency experience โ€” including doctors, A&E nurses, and paramedics. While clinical credentials arenโ€™t required to teach first aid, we believe they make a meaningful difference.

Our instructors donโ€™t just teach life-saving techniques โ€” they use them in real emergencies, every single day. That means youโ€™re not just learning from a manual; youโ€™re learning from people who know exactly what works when every second counts.

We donโ€™t just want you to be certified. We want you to be competent โ€” calm, confident, and ready to act when it really matters. Youโ€™ll walk away not only with a certificate, but with the skills and understanding to genuinely help in a crisis.

We’ve been delivering training since 2001 โ€” and while that might not seem so long ago, our six core instructors bring over 100 years of combined emergency experience to the table. That deep well of expertise shapes every course we deliver.

Weโ€™re proud to support a wide range of organisations โ€” from PLCs and independent retailers in hospitality and consumer goods, to churches, charities, and local GP surgeries where we deliver BLS (Basic Life Support) training. Whatever the setting, our approach is always the same: high-quality, engaging training that prepares people to step up when it counts.

All of our trainers are fully qualified instructors โ€” and yes, genuinely lovely people too. ๐Ÿ˜Š Whether itโ€™s your first course or a refresher, youโ€™ll be supported every step of the way.

To maintain the highest standards, we also have a dedicated Internal Quality Assurance Department. This team ensures full compliance with regulatory frameworks, supports the ongoing development of our trainers, and helps guarantee that every course we deliver consistently meets โ€” and often exceeds โ€” expectations.
We are also audited by Qualsafe Awards, giving our learners the assurance of Ofqual-recognised quality.

From the moment you arrive, youโ€™ll be made to feel welcome and supported โ€” and weโ€™re confident youโ€™ll genuinely enjoy your first aid training experience. If you have any specific learning needs or accessibility requirements, just let us know. Weโ€™re here to help you succeed.

๐Ÿง  What Youโ€™ll Learn

Depending on your selected course

All of our first aid training equips learners with practical, life-saving skills. Depending on your course, you may cover:

  • Basic First Aid: Bleeding control, fractures, burns, and shock
  • Emergency Response: CPR, AED, managing unconsciousness, choking
  • Specialist Skills: Anaphylaxis, seizures, allergic reactions
  • Paediatric Care: First aid for babies and children

Why invest in professional first aid training for your team?

Free resources can be useful as a refresher, but for employers and organisations, proper first aid training is not just a legal requirement โ€” itโ€™s a smart investment. When your team is trained by experienced professionals, theyโ€™re more than just compliant โ€” theyโ€™re truly prepared.

Effective first aid can reduce the severity of workplace injuries, minimise downtime, and even save lives. That means fewer incidents, less disruption, and a safer environment for everyone. Plus, it shows your staff and customers that you take safety seriously.

At Hive Collaborative, we deliver engaging, practical training that builds competence and confidence โ€” not just certification. And with our real-world experience and flexible training options, youโ€™ll see a strong return on both your time and budget.

โš ๏ธ A Note on Online-Only First Aid Training

While any form of first aid training is better than none, we strongly advise against purely online courses. Practical, hands-on experience is essential for building real-world confidence โ€” especially when it comes to life-saving skills like CPR or managing an unconscious casualty.

For best practice and full compliance with workplace and childcare standards, we recommend choosing an Ofqual-regulated course delivered by a recognised provider.


๐Ÿก First Aid at Home: Protect What Matters Most

From allergic reactions to sudden collapses, first aid skills can make all the difference at home. Give yourself and your loved ones the tools to respond with calm and care.

๐Ÿ’ฌ First Aid Saves Lives โ€” Real Stories from Real People

First aiders across the UK have saved countless lives through quick thinking and confident action. Here are just a few real-world examples that show how effective first aid training can be:

  • ๐Ÿงด Allergic Reaction at Work
    A warehouse supervisor recognised signs of anaphylaxis and immediately administered an EpiPen, stabilising their colleague until help arrived.
  • ๐Ÿ›’ Choking in a Retail Setting
    A retail employee spotted a customer choking and applied back blows and abdominal thrusts, successfully clearing the airway before paramedics arrived.
  • ๐Ÿ๏ธ Motorcycle Crash Response
    A bystander applied pressure and improvised a tourniquet on a motorcyclist with a severed leg, preventing life-threatening blood loss and likely saving their life.

With the right first aid training, anyone can be the first response that makes the ultimate difference.

To pass a first aid course, youโ€™ll need to attend all sessions, take part in practical scenarios, and successfully demonstrate key skills such as CPR, the recovery position, and managing emergencies. Most courses also include a short written or multiple-choice exam, which must be passed to receive certification.

At The Hive Collaborative, we actively support the development of your academic skills to help you succeed in the assessment โ€” but above all, we focus on building your confidence to apply first aid in real-life situations. Practical competence is the true goal, and weโ€™re here to guide you every step of the way.

The First Aid at Work Requalification course is a certified 2-day refresher for those with a valid FAW certificate. Delivered at our Deeside training centre or on-site across North Wales and the North West, it updates your skills and keeps you HSE compliant. We also travel further afield for group bookings โ€” transparent travel charges apply.
