First Aid Training Felixstowe
First Aid Courses in Felixstowe – On-Site Training by NHS Trained Paramedics
Need first aid training in Felixstowe? Training 999 delivers regulated first aid courses at your Felixstowe workplace, led by NHS-trained paramedic instructors with hands-on emergency care experience.
Felixstowe is home to the UK’s busiest container port, handling around 48% of the country’s containerised trade. That means the town supports a significant concentration of port operations, logistics, haulage, warehousing, and freight forwarding businesses — environments where the risk of serious workplace injuries is higher than average and where having properly trained first aiders on site can genuinely save lives.
Beyond the port, Felixstowe has a thriving tourism and hospitality sector, residential care providers, schools, and retail businesses — all with their own first aid training obligations.
All our courses are fully aligned with the Resuscitation Council UK 2025 Guidelines, in effect from January 2026.
First Aid Courses Available in Felixstowe
This is the qualification that most Felixstowe port and logistics businesses require. The 3-day First Aid at Work course provides in-depth training on managing a wide range of emergencies — from cardiac arrest and major bleeding to fractures, burns, and medical conditions.
Our blended delivery format means your staff complete 1 day of online theory at their own pace, followed by 2 days of intensive face-to-face practical training at your premises.
Ideal for Felixstowe workplaces including:
- Freight forwarding and container handling
- Warehousing and distribution centres
- Haulage and transport companies
- Port terminal and dockside operations
- Engineering and maintenance contractors
A single-day course covering the fundamentals — CPR, AED use, choking, wound management, and what to do in an emergency. This course suits lower-risk Felixstowe businesses such as offices, shops, restaurants, and hotels.
Existing first aiders whose certificates are approaching their 3-year expiry can renew through this streamlined course — 1 day online, 1 day face-to-face — keeping your Felixstowe team compliant with minimal downtime.
Catastrophic Bleeding Training – Critical for Port & Industrial Settings
Working environments around the Port of Felixstowe involve heavy machinery, moving vehicles, and manual handling at scale. The HSE now states that where life-threatening bleeding is a foreseeable risk, employers must ensure appropriate training is in place.
We provide catastrophic haemorrhage training covering the use of tourniquets, haemostatic dressings, and wound-packing techniques. This can be delivered as part of your FAW or EFAW course, or as a standalone session — and each successful learner receives an additional annotation on their certificate.
This training also supports preparedness under Martyn’s Law — the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — relevant to Felixstowe’s seafront venues, public spaces, and event locations.
Manual Handling Training for Felixstowe Businesses
Given the physical nature of much of the work around Felixstowe — particularly in port logistics, warehousing, care homes, and hospitality — we also deliver:
A comprehensive Level 2 qualification covering the safe moving and handling of loads and people. Blended format with online and practical components.
A Level 3 specialist qualification for emergency services personnel who need to teach others safe moving and handling practices.
Paediatric First Aid in Felixstowe
Felixstowe’s nurseries, childminders, and primary schools need staff trained to EYFS and Ofsted standards. We deliver paediatric courses on-site at your setting.
The complete Level 3 qualification combining online learning with practical assessment. Meets all early years requirements.
A shorter course covering key paediatric emergencies — suitable where the full 2-day course is not mandatory.
Want both adult and child qualifications? Our combined first aid courses let your team earn two qualifications in one programme.

First Aid Training Across Suffolk
Our mobile training service covers Felixstowe and the surrounding area including Trimley St Martin, Trimley St Mary, Kirton, Walton, Levington, and across the Shotley Peninsula. We also regularly train businesses in Ipswich — just 12 miles away — as well as Woodbridge, Lowestoft, Stowmarket, Bury St Edmunds, and Newmarket. For full county coverage see our Suffolk first aid training page.
Employer Obligations Under UK Law
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 apply to every employer in Felixstowe regardless of size. You are required to carry out a First Aid Needs Assessment and provide trained first aiders proportionate to the risks in your workplace.
For higher-risk operations — particularly those associated with the port and logistics sector — this almost always means holding the full 3-day First Aid at Work qualification rather than the 1-day EFAW alone.
