First Aid, Defibrillator and Live Fire Training in Doncaster, South Yorkshire
Emergency Response Training works from Doncaster with a range built around emergency response rather than paperwork — every first aid qualification includes defibrillator training as standard, and the fire marshal course uses live fire rather than a slideshow. For employers who want people who will actually act in an emergency, that practical emphasis is the distinguishing feature.
First aid with defibrillator
Every first aid course includes AED training:
Emergency First Aid at Work,
First Aid at Work and its requalification, and
Paediatric First Aid — all bundled with defibrillator. There is also a standalone CPR, Defibrillator and Anaphylaxis course. Survival from cardiac arrest falls sharply with every minute before defibrillation, so training first aiders on the device they will actually reach for matters.
Classroom or blended paediatric
Paediatric First Aid is available two ways. The two-day classroom route covers the full qualification face to face. The
blended route delivers the theory as e-learning modules followed by a single day in the room, reaching the same 12-hour qualification with one day less away from the setting. Nurseries and schools juggling ratios usually find the blended option easier to staff around; the classroom route suits teams who would rather do it in one block.
Live fire training
Fire Marshal / Warden including live fire training — delegates use extinguishers on real fires rather than being shown a video. Choosing and operating an extinguisher under pressure is a physical skill, and the difference between having done it once and never having done it is substantial. See all
fire safety courses.
Workplace qualifications
Mental health
Level 2 and Level 3 Mental Health in the Workplace. Level 2 suits a general awareness rollout across a team; Level 3 is aimed at supervisors and managers who need to respond to and support staff rather than simply recognise a problem.
Do we need a defibrillator as well as first aiders?
Trained first aiders and an accessible AED work together — neither substitutes for the other. Your first aid needs assessment should consider whether a defibrillator is appropriate for your workplace, taking account of size, distance from emergency services and the nature of the work. Training people on AED use costs nothing extra here, since it is built into every first aid course.
