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.

After over 30 years of marketing experience and countless training courses, I finally had the opportunity to formally learn how to educate and train through The Education and Training Academy.

A great company for teacher training; I highly recommend using Matthew and the team. Very supportive, and all the materials for remote delivery were easy to follow.
Having some previous teaching experience, but lacking the qualification I needed to start training formally accredited courses, I completed the Level 3 Award in Education and Training with Matt and the Education and Training Academy.From the beginning, the expectations needed to complete the qualification were laid out... brilliantly in the academy's resources, which really made the process of completing the portfolio as clear as possible. The taught days of the course were a really enjoyable experience, students came from a range of backgrounds and the trainer ensured everyone felt involved and able to share their experiences. Many of the learning methods discussed on the course were clearly demonstrated and we had some great group discussions which left me reflecting on new ways of improving my own teaching approaches. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to complete their Level 3 AET.read more

I completed the Level 3 Education and Training certificates with Matt from TheEducation and Training Academy in 2021.I genuinely enjoyed the course.

I have completed the education and training level 3 courses.I highly recommend this academy as it was so easy and flexible to complete the required course work. Everything was online and accessible. I felt I could contact an ask for help if there was something I didn’t understand.
I completed the Level 3 Award in Education and Teaching under the tutelage of Matt. I've been looking to achieve this formal training qualification as a means of being able to teach more subjects (in my case first aid) to a higher standard, and I'm really pleased with the training I received. Our class took part in a... series of group video seminars, were provided with a workbook to complete, alongside pre-recorded lectures and online quizzes and slides to work through. I returned a portfolio of essays, and took part in a Microteach assessment with my class. I'm really delighted with the training I received, and I'm looking forward to being able to teach new subjects, and award nationally recognised first aid qualifications, thanks to the course I've completed.read more
I recently completed the Level 3 Award in Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment with the Education and Training Academy. I decided to do the course to help me in my understanding of assessments; their structure, standards and required evidence for Apprenticeship learners. I have recently become a... trainer for an apprenticeship course and this assessment course has given me a fuller understanding of the whole process. I believe it has helped me to better support learners and guide them in building their evidence to go towards their end point assessments.I attended the virtual sessions with Matt which consisted of 2 days training. The timing was flexible enough for me to easily work on it around my other commitments. I found the sessions to be welcoming and interactive. Matt is a really knowledgeable trainer and took an interest in each person’s background and experience in order to use relevant examples to help us all relate to the material more easily. I found the breadth of material supplied to be well put together and really useful; it helped me to absorb the information more easily and to build my portfolio in preparation for assessment. The communication throughout was great and Matt was really supportive and responsive when I needed help. Thanks so much Matt!read more
I have just completed the online course with Matt at the Academy. I needed this qualification as I had previously completed the PTTLS course but needed the extra assessor’s element to allow me as a first aid instructor to assess and certify students. I am also working to become my own centre for the awarding body, so this... qualification really hit the spot.The online learning that Matt provided was fantastic, and it allowed me to learn at my own pace, with lots of extra support available both in the classroom and afterwards via online chat or email. All teaching sessions were recorded, which really helped me go over the areas that I needed to re-examine, and I found this a real help. The environment created by Matt put all the learners at ease, which made for a more productive learning experience. He was always on hand to offer support, which is often the greatest drawback of online learning. Matt bridged this gap seamlessly.This online learning and support then allowed me to complete the practical elements at my place of work by assessing my peers in the workplace. I got the opportunity to put the skills learnt into practice, such as formulating assessment methods and strategies. The practical elements of the course gave me a great understanding of the assessment process, it has really improved my knowledge and understanding in this field, and now I can provide a better service to my learners moving forward with my business.I would highly recommend using Matt as your next training provider. You will not be disappointed; his passion and experience will enrich your learning journey.read more
