Qualsafe first aid qualifications, trauma and bleed control, and paediatric first aid across Essex and the surrounding counties

Our Training

1705 Consultancy delivers first aid training across Essex and the surrounding counties, including Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Kent and London, at your premises or ours. We offer Qualsafe regulated qualifications, including Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, FREC 3 and FREC 4, paediatric first aid and the medical gases and lifesaving medication awards, delivered through our approved centre partners. Alongside them, our own courses cover trauma first aid and bleed control, forestry, schools and basic first aid.

Training a group at your workplace is usually the most cost effective option, and we can tailor scenarios to your site, from offices and venues to schools, events and outdoor work.
