We don’t want to be just another first aid training company.
We want to be the best and to be the best, we need to focus on the complete learner journey and not just your certificate.
All trainers are experienced in medical emergencies and work with the emergency services.
All trainers are vetted and trained before they are allowed to teach.
We actually check the quality of the training by observing our trainers frequently.
Our Vision
To remove barriers to learning by adopting latest training methods to improve knowledge, skills and attitudes to educate the next generation of first aiders using proven learning strategies.
Our Mission
We provide a safe an inclusive community for organisations to develop their staff and meet regulatory compliance. FATA recognises that all learners have their own individual learning needs and devise individual learning plans to help our learners reach their goals.
Accredited Training Organisation
We are an accredited training organisation and our company is accredited by various different awarding bodies.
We will tell you a little secret that all awarding bodies are pretty much the same, City and Guilds, NQUK, Pearson, CITB, etc. The only difference is their name. They may offer the same qualifications but they must meet regulatory and Ofqual requirements meaning, there is absolutely no difference to them.
