About First Training
I’m Sophie, the founder of First Training. I set up the business in 2020 with a single aim: to make first aid training genuinely worth your time.
​
With over 15 years of experience in first aid — and an ongoing role in the NHS — I’ve seen first-hand what happens when people freeze in an emergency, and what happens when they don’t. The difference that a few hours of good training can make is extraordinary.
​
All of our courses are practical, hands-on and built around real-life scenarios. No death-by-PowerPoint. Just skills you’ll actually remember and confidence you’ll actually use.
​
We’re based at our training centre in Saltash, but we’re fully equipped to travel to your workplace, school or community venue. We offer flexible scheduling seven days a week — including evenings, early mornings and twilight sessions — so training can fit around shift patterns and business operations rather than the other way around.
​
Whether you’re a business meeting your legal first aid obligations, a childcare professional working towards an Ofsted requirement, or simply someone who wants to feel prepared, we’re here to help.
