Overseas certificates

First aid at work certificates are only valid if they have been issued by an approved organisation in mainland Britain. If a certificate has been issued by or in another country then that certificate is not valid in mainland Britain.

Specific requirements for employment offshore

The training objectives for offshore First Aiders are based on competencies, including the treatment of hypothermia, use of entonox and defibrillation. Provision has been made for offshore medics and First Aiders to renew their certificates up to 3 months before the certificate expires. For information about On-Site Courses Click Here.

First Aid Training with a Business Focus

OPTIMUM First Aid focuses on meeting the challenges faced by business today.

Many of the UK’s top companies use OPTIMUM for a modern, refreshing and business-like approach to First Aid delivery, with unrivalled quality standards to ensure total corporate responsibility in First Aid. With a proven track record for excellence, reliability and flexibility, clients trust OPTIMUM to provide the most effective First Aid training system available in the UK.

OPTIMUM goes beyond meeting the demands of legislation for employers to have “adequate First Aid provision”. By ensuring your organisation can demonstrate the very best commitment to the health of employees and customers, this helps to prevent legal negligence cases and damage to your corporate reputation.


Experience combined with Innovation

OPTIMUM has a track record that spans over a decade for providing First Aid training to a wide variety of businesses including McDonald’s Restaurants, Whitbread Breweries and Yates Plc. The secret to OPTIMUM’s success is being at the forefront of personal development training, delivering cutting-edge management and coaching programmes for businesses and individuals. The latest technologies and best practice from these programmes are injected into First Aid courses in order to achieve continuous improvement, and by doing this OPTIMUM ensures that they maintain their position in raising the standards of First Aid training.

OPTIMUM is the first company in the world to implement accelerated learning techniques in our First Aid course. What this means is we don't waste your time! You won't be sitting around trying to absorb boring theory - you will be physically involved and executing strategies that will enhance your skills. That's part of what makes this interactive course fun, inspirational and easy-to-learn while giving participants the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle even the most demanding situations.

As an example of this innovative approach, OPTIMUM is the only UK First Aid training company to incorporate a blood phobia cure into its training. This provides clients with reassurance that the First Aider has the confidence to deal with any situation. OPTIMUM believes this is a critical aspect of First Aid training that makes the difference between life and death. All courses include unique elements such as energiser sessions incorporating music, which help delegates to relax, learn more effectively and ultimately become more confident First Aiders.
