Our Thetford training covers the full range of Ofqual-regulated qualifications to meet your workplace needs.
A focused one-day course covering essential life-saving skills including CPR, AED use, choking, and managing basic injuries. This is the right choice for lower-risk Thetford workplaces such as offices, retail units, and service businesses.
Our most comprehensive workplace course, delivered as a blended programme — 1 day of online learning followed by 2 days of hands-on face-to-face training with our paramedic instructors. Designed for higher-risk Thetford workplaces where injuries are more likely or where emergency services may take longer to arrive.
Particularly suited to Thetford businesses including:
- Manufacturing and engineering firms on Thetford's industrial estates
- Forestry operations and timber companies in and around Thetford Forest
- Agricultural businesses and farms across Breckland
- Warehousing and distribution centres

If your Thetford team’s first aid certificates are approaching expiry, our requalification course keeps your first aiders up to date. Delivered as 1 day online followed by 1 day face-to-face — minimising time away from the workplace.
This Ofqual-regulated Level 3 qualification is essential for anyone working with babies and children. The blended format — online theory plus practical face-to-face assessment — makes it manageable for busy childcare settings across Thetford.
Ideal for Thetford nurseries and preschools, childminders, primary schools including Drake Primary, Pine Close Academy, and Admirals Academy, after-school clubs, sports coaches, nannies and au pairs.
A shorter alternative covering the essentials of paediatric emergency response, suitable where a full 2-day qualification is not required.
HSE-recommended refresher training for qualified first aiders who hold a current FAW or EFAW certificate. 3 hours of practical skills review keeps your Thetford team’s confidence high and your organisation legally compliant.
Forestry First Aid and Specialist Training in Thetford
With Thetford Forest — the largest lowland pine forest in Britain — right on the doorstep, Thetford has a significant concentration of forestry, woodland management, and outdoor activity businesses. Training 999 is one of the few providers in the region that delivers the specialist Forestry First Aid +F qualification required for anyone working on Forestry Commission land or in similar outdoor environments.
Our Forestry First Aid course meets Forestry Commission requirements and covers the additional hazards faced by outdoor workers — including chainsaw injuries, crush injuries from falling timber, animal bites, Lyme disease, hypothermia, and managing casualties in remote locations where ambulance response times are longer. Essential for tree surgeons, forestry workers, Go Ape instructors, Center Parcs outdoor staff, gamekeepers, and agricultural workers across the Breckland area.
Catastrophic Haemorrhage and Specialist Training
The Health and Safety Executive now states that where life-threatening bleeding is a risk, appropriate training must be provided. We deliver catastrophic haemorrhage training using specialist equipment including tourniquets and haemostatic dressings.
This training also supports compliance with Martyn’s Law — the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 — which includes requirements for enhanced first aid preparedness in public venues. For Thetford’s leisure venues and public-facing businesses, this training is increasingly essential.
