Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Course Manchester

We have been running public first aid courses across Greater Manchester since 2016. Our own training centre, Caroline House in Audenshaw, has hosted over 790 public courses, and we run regular scheduled courses at St Matthew’s Community Hall in Trafford and The Townhouse Hotel in Manchester city centre — more than 100 public dates are currently in the diary across those venues.

Because our centre is in the Manchester area, onsite training at your own premises is straightforward across the city and the surrounding boroughs: Tameside, Trafford, Salford, Stockport, Oldham and Bolton. We deliver first aid, fire safety and mental health first aid training locally, and being close by means we can usually accommodate short-notice bookings.
