"Talking the talk, walking the walk"
We specialise in scenario-based, accredited first aid training for teams working in high-risk, remote, and complex environments — from private security and close protection teams to forestry workers, maritime professionals, and adventure tourism providers.
With a background in military medical training and remote trauma response, we bring a unique level of realism and confidence-building to every session. We don’t just teach first aid — we train people to think clearly and act decisively when every second counts.
We deliver specialist first aid and trauma care training, but we also cover essential workplace first aid, including Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW), keeping teams compliant, confident, and capable.
