First Aid Training Chatteris
First Aid and Moving & Handling Training in Chatteris – NHS Trained Paramedic Instructors, On-Site Delivery
Chatteris sits at the heart of the Cambridgeshire Fens, serving a working community that spans care homes, agricultural businesses, small manufacturers, and local service employers. Many of these businesses operate in environments where a medical emergency can happen without warning — and where the nearest ambulance may be considerably further away than in an urban setting.
Training 999 delivers on-site first aid and manual handling training throughout Chatteris and the surrounding Fenland area, bringing our NHS paramedic instructors directly to your premises. All our courses meet the Resuscitation Council UK 2025 Guidelines, implemented from January 2026, and carry Ofqual regulated qualifications that satisfy your legal obligations under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Moving & Handling Training at Swan Care Home, Chatteris
We are proud to deliver on-site moving and handling training at Swan Care Home in Chatteris, working directly with care staff on the techniques they use every single day — in the environment they actually work in, with the equipment they use.
Care environments present some of the most physically demanding manual handling challenges of any workplace. Staff are regularly required to reposition, transfer, and support residents — often in confined spaces, under time pressure, and without immediate backup. Poor technique causes real and lasting harm on both sides: staff suffer musculoskeletal injuries that accumulate over time, and residents are placed at genuine risk of falls and discomfort during transfers.
Our training is delivered by NHS paramedic instructors who have physically handled patients in genuine emergency settings — not simply trainers who have learned the theory. They work through real scenarios with your team in your building, using your equipment, so the training directly reflects the situations your staff face every day.<

Why Chatteris Businesses Choose Training 999
We do not run training centres and ask your staff to travel to us. Every course we deliver comes to your Chatteris premises — saving your team time, reducing disruption to your working day, and allowing our instructors to tailor scenarios to your actual workplace environment. A care home faces very different risks to a farm or a warehouse, and our training reflects that.
What sets us apart:
- 2025 Guidlines Compliant All courses updated to Resuscitation Council 2025 Guidlines from January 2026
- All instructors are qualified NHS paramedics — not just trained trainers, but clinicians with real frontline emergency experience
- On-site delivery across Chatteris, the Fenland district, and the wider Cambridgeshire area
- Flexible scheduling built around your shift patterns, care rotas, and business hours
- Every qualification is Ofqual regulated at RQF Level 2 or Level 3. This means it is accepted by insurers, recognised by the HSE, and meets Ofsted requirements where applicable.
- Blended learning options — reduce face-to-face time with online pre-learning where available
Training Courses Available in Chatteris
For many Chatteris employers — particularly those in the care sector — moving and handling training is the most immediate training priority. The HSE consistently identifies manual handling as one of the leading causes of workplace absence, and in care environments the risks are especially significant given the frequency and physical complexity of patient handling tasks on every shift.
Our blended 2-day course begins with one day of structured online learning covering theory, risk assessment, and anatomy. The second day is fully practical and delivered on your premises — covering patient transfers, hoist use, slide sheet technique, and repositioning skills for care settings, and safe load handling for agricultural, warehouse, and industrial environments. Your team trains in the actual space they work in, using their own equipment.
Particularly suited to:
- Residential care homes and nursing homes in Chatteris and across the Fenland district
- Domiciliary and community care providers across Cambridgeshire
- Agricultural and rural employers across the surrounding fens
- Warehousing, logistics, and light industrial businesses
- Any employer whose staff regularly move loads, equipment, or people as part of their role
The First Aid at Work qualification is the full workplace first aid certificate, designed for businesses where risk assessments identify a need for a comprehensively trained first aider. In Chatteris and across the Fens, this course is most relevant for businesses operating in higher-risk environments — care homes, agricultural operations, construction sites, and anywhere that emergency services may take longer to reach due to the rural setting.
Now available as a blended course — 1 day of online pre-learning followed by 2 days of practical, hands-on training delivered on your premises by our paramedic instructors.
For lower-risk workplaces — offices, retail businesses, and smaller operations across Chatteris — our one-day EFAW course provides the essential skills your appointed first aider needs. It is the most common qualification for smaller businesses and can be delivered on-site at your Chatteris premises in a single working day.
FAW certificates last three years. When renewal is due, our blended requalification course — 1 day online followed by 1 day face-to-face at your premises — is the most efficient way to bring your first aiders back up to date, including with any changes to clinical guidelines. We come to you, so your team is back at work the same week.
For anyone working with children in Chatteris — whether in a nursery, school, childminding setting, or sports and leisure environment — our Ofqual regulated Level 3 Paediatric First Aid qualification meets the EYFS statutory requirements and satisfies Ofsted inspection criteria. This is not an optional extra for childcare providers; it is a legal requirement.
We deliver this course on your premises across Chatteris and the wider Fenland area, available as either a 2-day blended course or a 1-day Emergency Paediatric First Aid course for those with more limited time.
Ideal for:
- Nurseries and pre-schools in Chatteris and surrounding villages
- Registered childminders across the Fenland district
- Primary schools and teaching assistants
- After-school clubs and holiday activity providers
- Nannies, au pairs, and private childcare providers
Additional Courses Available in Chatteris
- Moving and Handling Train the Trainer – For senior care staff or managers who need to deliver in-house moving and handling training to their own teams on an ongoing basis
- Forestry First Aid – Designed for those working in agricultural, horticultural, and outdoor environments across the Cambridgeshire fens, where standard workplace first aid training does not go far enough
- Anaphylaxis Training – A focused half-day course for schools, nurseries, and any setting where staff may need to administer an adrenaline auto-injector
- Basic Life Support & AED Training – A practical half-day course giving staff the confidence to act immediately in a cardiac emergency, suitable for all staff regardless of role
- Annual First Aid Refresher – HSE-recommended half-day refresher to keep your first aiders sharp and confident between their formal requalification dates
Life-Threatening Bleeding Training for Chatteris Workplaces
The HSE’s updated L74 guidance (2024) places a specific duty on employers to address life-threatening bleeding in their first aid provision if the risk exists in their workplace. For businesses across the Chatteris area — particularly in agriculture, care, and construction — this is a requirement that cannot be overlooked. It is equally relevant across the Fenland area where emergency response times can be longer and the actions taken in the first few minutes are critical.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — Martyn’s Law also requires venues and public-facing businesses to have considered their response to major incidents.
Our life-threatening bleeding training covers:
- Tourniquet application and correct positioning
- Wound packing and haemostatic dressings
- Bleed control kit familiarisation
- Decision-making under pressure in a real emergency
This training can be added to any of our first aid courses and is annotated directly on each learner’s certificate. Contact us to include it in your booking.

Your Legal Obligations as a Chatteris Employer
Every employer in the UK — regardless of size or sector — has a legal duty under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 to make adequate first aid provision for their workforce. For Chatteris businesses this means:
- Completing a First Aid Needs Assessment to determine how many first aiders you need and what training is appropriate
- Appointing and training first aiders proportionate to your workplace risks
- Keeping qualifications current — certificates lapse, and the HSE expects annual refresher training between renewals
- Providing suitable first aid equipment appropriate to your working environment
