Onsite first aid training across Northern Ireland

Most lower-risk workplaces choose Emergency First Aid at Work, a one-day regulated award. Higher-risk workplaces usually need First Aid at Work, over three days. Your first aid needs assessment decides which is right. Our first aid requirements calculator gives you a starting point from your headcount and risks, and if you're still unsure, tell us about your workplace when you ask for a quote and we'll advise.

There’s no minimum number for onsite training, and the course price stays the same however many places you fill. Courses are limited to a maximum of 12 learners. If you need to train a larger team, we can arrange additional sessions and set this out clearly in your quote. Depending on the course length, timings and trainer availability, it may be possible to run more than one session on the same day.

No VAT is payable on any of the prices on our website. The price covers the trainer, training equipment, course manuals, assessment and a certificate for every learner who completes the course, and learner administration. Your organisation and learners also get access to My Northlight and Northlight Knowledge at no extra charge. Travel anywhere in Northern Ireland is included in the price, so you’ll know the full cost before you book.

As a rough guide, for around six or more people onsite training usually costs less than booking places on a public course. Teams also choose onsite for other reasons: less time away from work, training together as a team, and practising in your own setting.

We deliver onsite training across Northern Ireland. Training can usually take place at your workplace or another suitable venue arranged by you.

That’s fine. You don’t need a final list to book. You can add learners later and change their details as often as you need, up until midnight at the start of the course day, either through My Northlight or by getting in touch with us.

We contact your learners directly. Each person gets an email when they’re added to the booking, and another a few days before the course with the joining information they need. You won’t need to pass course details on to everyone yourself.

You can book using a purchase order. We’ll normally send your invoice when your booking is confirmed, but payment isn’t usually due until after the course has been delivered. The due date will be shown on your invoice, in line with our Onsite Training Terms. No VAT is payable on any of the prices listed on our website, and travel anywhere in Northern Ireland is included in the price.

Certificates are usually issued within 72 hours. Learners receive theirs electronically, and you can find the whole group in My Northlight, where you can search for a certificate, download it individually or batch download them all, from a computer or phone. If you’d prefer us to email them to you, we can do that too.

Yes. Our regulated courses lead to STA Level 3 Awards from Safety Training Awards, and we are an STA Approved Training Centre. We teach every contact hour HSE asks for, for example 18 hours over three days for First Aid at Work and 6 for Emergency First Aid at Work. Our other courses are Northlight courses. Every course, regulated or not, ends with a certificate.

Let us know as early as you can. Moving to a new date is free if you tell us at least 15 days before. After that, a rescheduling charge applies on top of the course fee: 50% at 8 to 14 days and 100% at 7 days or less. A booking can be rescheduled once, and the new date must take place within 60 days of the original. Cancelling 29 or more days before is free. After that, the charge is 25% at 15 to 28 days, 50% at 8 to 14 days and 100% at 7 days or less. Full details are in our Onsite Training Terms.
