In the UK, St John Ambulance is a Voluntary Aid Society (VAS) recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as a standard-setting organisation for first aid training under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. This recognition is a key reason delegates choose us, reflecting the quality and credibility of our training courses.

We can help you ensure that your workplace meets all mandated health and safety regulations and adheres to HSE standards through our comprehensive list of health and safety courses. Our training team is ready to assist you in identifying the most suitable course to meet your needs.
