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.

I recently studied my understanding internal quality assurance and understanding external quality assurance with matt. He was one of the most supportive understanding and kindness tutors I have ever met in my entire life. He is absolutely incredible and so kind and helpful. He truly does care about his students succeeding... and understanding how to best facilitate their development and understanding moving forward. I studied these courses with matt as part of a prerequisite requirement for further training. His true dedication and kindness makes him an incredibly outstanding teacher and his knowledge on teaching is unmatched by any trainer I have ever worked with.He is so kind and patient and he literally wrote a book on how to get the training right and how to help students improve themselves moving forward.I could not have asked for a better teacher if I had tried.Matt is truly amazing and interesting and a such an incredibly kind and supportive teacher.If I could give him 10 stars I totally would but unfortunately the maximum amount is 5 so that’s what I have given him.Thank you so much for helping me through everything and enabling me to progress my learning further. You are truly incredible.I would gladly recommend anyone studying with the education and training academy because of their passion and dedication and support for teacher training.read more
