Fire Warden Training Course Preston

Preston has more First Aid For All trainers living locally than anywhere outside Greater Manchester, with four in the city and another on the Fylde, and one of them has delivered more than thirty courses for us in the last two years. Onsite courses in Preston in that time have included a firm of solicitors, a residential care service, a food producer, a catering business and a sports club, most of them Emergency First Aid at Work, with Fire Marshal and the three-day First Aid at Work course also delivered locally.

We ran a public course in Preston in December 2023 and would like to run more. While there is no Preston date currently on sale, the nearest scheduled public dates are listed below with their distance from the city, and registering your interest is the quickest way to bring a public course back to Preston.
