First Aid Courses in Essex | ATH Training Group Ltd

ATH Training Group Ltd provides accredited First Aid training courses across Essex for individuals, groups and businesses. Established in 2012, we offer open First Aid courses at venues in Basildon, Chelmsford and Colchester, as well as on-site workplace training. Courses include Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid, CPR and Basic Life Support training for healthcare professionals and dental staff.



Our accredited workplace First Aid courses help employers meet HSE requirements and keep their teams' skills up to date. All courses follow the 2025 UK Resuscitation Council Guidelines and use state-of-the-art training equipment. Our CPR manikins provide real-time feedback on chest compression depth, speed and release, as well as the volume of air delivered during rescue breaths, helping learners develop the confidence to respond in a life-threatening emergency.



Our Paediatric First Aid courses meet Early Years Foundation Stage and OFSTED requirements for First Aid in childcare settings. Learners can choose a two-day classroom course or blended Paediatric First Aid training, with day one completed online through video-based learning and day two delivered in the classroom. Both options meet the same requirements, while blended learning reduces the time spent in the classroom.



We offer CPR and Basic Life Support training for individuals, healthcare professionals and dental staff. Individuals can learn practical life-saving skills, while healthcare and dental professionals can complete their required annual Basic Life Support updates.



In addition to First Aid and CPR courses, we provide workplace training across Essex for businesses, organisations and their employees. Our additional courses include Fire Safety training, Evacuation Chair training, Mental Health in the Workplace training and Manual Handling training.
