Veteran Led First Aid Training, Experience Driven
At Optimal First Aid, veteran led means more than a marketing label, it defines everything we do. Founded and overseen by a former Parachute Regiment soldier and ex-military medic with additional frontline experience beyond the Forces, our training is built on real world grit, not theory alone.
While not every course is delivered personally by a veteran, every instructor is handpicked for their operational credibility, practical knowledge, and ability to teach under pressure. The result? First aid training that’s tough, relevant, and ready for the environments you work in.
