Emergency Response Training
When every second counts, confidence and competence save lives. Our bespoke Emergency Response Training packages are designed to equip your emergency response team with the skills, knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in high-pressure, high-risk environments
Tailored Emergency Medical Response Training
We understand that no two operations are alike. Whether you’re part of an industrial response unit, a security team, or a remote expedition support group, our training is shaped to meet your operational needs. From complex incident sites to remote wilderness, our instructors bring frontline experience and real-world insight to every course.
Our Emergency Response Training covers:
Emergency scene management
Casualty assessment and prioritisation
Catastrophic haemorrhage control
Airway management
CPR and AED use
Trauma management
Medical emergencies in remote or hostile environments
Creating and executing an Emergency Action Plan
Practical scenario-based exercises simulating your real-world risks
Course customisation to suit your needs
Our Emergency Response Training packages are built around your team’s operational context — no off-the-shelf solutions here. Whether you need to meet industry compliance, upskill your team, or prepare for deployment in challenging environments, we’ll tailor the course to deliver exactly what you need.
We can include elements from regulated qualifications such as:
First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3)
A comprehensive qualification for those operating in the pre-hospital environment. FREC 3 is ideal for individuals stepping into the role of an emergency medical responder, offering robust training in trauma, medical emergencies, and patient handling.

First Person on Scene (FPOS)
Recognised across high-risk sectors, FPOS provides essential training for those first on the scene of an emergency. It’s particularly suitable for emergency response teams, security staff, and those operating in remote or hostile environments.

Ideally suited to anybody running outdoor activities Emily Bunce2025-04-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended a 16h outdoor first aid course led by Toby. I found the sessions to be really helpful, and have picked up some essential learning for both work and personal adventures. I also really appreciated the hands-on approach taken to learning, which made the sessions fun and engaging. Thank you Toby!

Fantastic First Aid Course! Super practical covering so many different scenarios, excellent teaching, and was so pleased we didn’t just sit in a classroom doing CPR for 6 hours like most other providers’ courses! Really happy will definitely be back. Thanks Toby, ace job! Production Manager2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
