The First Aid Training Co-operative’s Trainer Induction Programme ensures that suitable applicants will be fully supported through their holistic development as a First Aid Trainer. Working through all of the qualifications and skills you need, as well as the background industry insight and teaching experience to deliver high-quality training.
We provide a development pathway for new first aid trainers and those wishing to begin a career in first aid training with us. This provides the freedom of being self-employed, and the ability to start delivering life-saving training as soon as the Trainer Induction Programme is complete.
The Trainer Induction Programme is not a quick process. It demands significant investment in time and money from both the trainee and from ourselves to ensure that trainees become highly skilled, dynamic first aid trainers.
The programme finishes with our specially designed Trainer Induction Week. This course equips you with the first aid qualifications and background industry insight, and the opportunity to learn directly from our vastly experienced lead trainers. It acts as the final assessment of your abilities as a trainer, and successful completion of the course will approve you to start delivering training with us straight away.

First Aid Trainer Induction Courses
Our comprehensive Trainer Induction Week is the final step in our Trainer Induction Programme, and is the date you need to work towards with your development. This usually takes 6-8 months to become fully qualified and approved to deliver first aid training courses with us.
Our Trainer Induction Week can also be run privately, for organisations who are looking to create an in-house first aid training team.

We also offer various CPD courses and host the biennial First Aid Conference, both open to any first aid trainer or training organisation.
Everything You Need to Start a New Career as a First Aid TrainerÂ
Fatimah Bint-Hanif was on our latest Trainer Induction Week in September 2023 after following our Trainer Induction Programme, and is now a fully fledged first aid trainer with the First Aid Training Co-operative
She had these comments about the process:
Throughout the entire course of this weekend Sam and Mike have been total gems – they’re both so welcoming, kind and approachable. They know their stuff like absolute pros and between them have a fantastic knowledge base, plus they’re always so happy to answer our burning questions.
They’re amazing at teaching and their feedback has been incredibly supportive. They’ve provided so much advice and really helpful ideas which I’m sure will be extremely beneficial once we start training others. They’ve also been great fun which always helps.
They are both a credit to FATC and I’m sure embody the excellence of the organisation.  It’s been a real privilege to be given this opportunity so I also want to say thank you.
