Yes — first aid training is open to people with a wide range of physical abilities, and we welcome learners with limited mobility. Our goal is to make your experience as accessible and supportive as possible.
That said, it’s important to know that regulated first aid qualifications — such as the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) — do include practical assessments. For example, you’ll usually need to demonstrate CPR on a manikin in order to pass.
If you’re unable to perform certain physical tasks due to mobility limitations, you may still be able to complete the course and receive an attendance certificate instead of a formal qualification. This still recognises your learning and can be a valuable contribution to your team or community.
Even if you can’t carry out physical actions like CPR, your knowledge could be life-saving — whether that’s giving instructions to someone else, staying calm in an emergency, or supporting a casualty until help arrives. Everyone has a part to play, and your role can be just as important.
We recommend getting in touch with us before the course so we can chat about your needs and make any adjustments to help you take part with confidence.
