At FabTraining, we love our modern, fully equipped training venue but not all learning needs to happen in a training room. In fact, some of the best sessions happen in the most unexpected places.

Over the past six weeks alone, we have delivered high-quality, accredited training in some truly unique settings. From a wine tasting room to a city centre gin bar, a salad grower’s facility to a pet food manufacturer, a junior school, and an academy trust headquarters, we’ve adapted, overcome, and delivered blinking good training every single time.

More Than Just First Aid

Yes, we are best known for our exceptional first aid training, from Emergency First Aid at Work to Paediatric First Aid and FREC qualifications but we do much more than that.

Many of the sessions we’ve delivered on the road recently have focused on:

• ✅ Health & Safety essentials for food production and warehousing teams
• ✅ Fire Marshal training tailored for schools and offices
• ✅ Personal Licence courses for hospitality teams on-site in licensed premises
• ✅ Manual Handling and COSHH awareness for a wide range of sectors
• ✅ Mental Health Awareness in relaxed, familiar environments
• ✅ Safeguarding sessions for educational settings

Whatever the course, we bring the same energy, expertise, and flexibility because we believe training should work for you, not the other way around.

Where we have been recently

To give you an idea of just how varied our training travels have been lately, here are a few of the places we’ve set up shop:

• 🍷 Wine Tasting Room – Transformed into a space for licensing and first aid in hospitality.
• 🍸 City Centre Gin Bar – Staff brushed up on first aid and licensing knowledge without leaving the bar.
• 🥗 Salad Growers Facility – Health & safety essentials delivered right where they’re needed.
• 🐶 Pet Food Manufacturer – On-site compliance training made easy and accessible.
• 🏫 Junior School & Academy Trust HQ – From paediatric first aid to safeguarding, in a space staff already know.

Each location brought its own quirks, limited space, background noise, unique layouts but we made it work. That’s what we do best.

Training That Fits Your Space

We are often asked, “Can you come to us?” And unless there is a serious reason we can’t, the answer is a confident yes!

We meet all awarding organisation (AO) requirements, so as long as you have got a suitable space, we can bring everything else:

• CPR manikins
• Defibrillator trainers
• Fire safety kit
• Visual aids & workbooks
• Laptops/projectors (where needed)
  

Even better - Training on your site often means:

• No staff travel
• Real-world learning in your own environment
• Minimal disruption to your working day
• Better engagement and relevance

We are Not Just Flexible - We are Fab

We have got a brilliant training centre with all the mod cons, but if your preference is on-site, we’re always happy to come to you. Whether it’s a boardroom, classroom, staff room or even a cellar we have probably trained there!

Have equipment, will travel because training should be about more than just ticking a box. It should be engaging, professional, and adaptable, wherever it happens.

Looking for first aid, compliance, or health & safety training that comes to you?

Let’s chat. We will bring the training, you bring the space (and maybe a kettle).

At FabTraining, we believe that everyone should have access to essential first aid skills—no matter their age, background, or circumstances. That’s why we created the Fab First Aid Fund, a unique initiative that helps make first aid training more accessible to local schools, groups, and community organisations.

🌟 Why We Set Up the Fund

The idea for the Fab First Aid Fund came from our deep-rooted belief that first aid saves lives and that knowledge should never be limited by budget. We saw firsthand how many schools and small community groups struggled to access training due to financial constraints. So, we decided to take action.

By setting aside a portion of our profits the Fab First Aid Fund was born. It allows us to provide free or heavily subsidised training to those who need it most.

🛠️ How It Works

Each year, we allocate a set budget from the fund to support local initiatives. Schools, clubs, and community groups can apply for support by filling out a simple online form. We review each request carefully, making decisions based on impact, need, and availability.

In the past, the Fab First Aid Fund has supported:

• Free CPR training for local sports clubs

• First aid awareness sessions for parent groups

• Mini Medics courses in primary schools

• Equipment donations to youth groups

Every penny in the fund is used to promote lifesaving knowledge and community resilience.

🧒🏽 The Latest Initiative: Free Mini Medics for Schools This Summer

We're excited to announce that this summer term (May–July), we’re inviting local schools to apply for a free Mini Medics first aid session, funded entirely by the Fab First Aid Fund!

The Mini Medics programme is designed for children aged 7–11. It’s a fun, interactive way to introduce young people to basic first aid and emergency awareness. From learning how to call 999 to understanding how to help someone who’s unresponsive, these sessions build confidence, skills, and a real sense of responsibility.

We’re aiming to deliver sessions inat least 10 local schools but we’d love to do more, depending on demand and available funds.

✏️ How Schools Can Get Involved

If you work at or know a school that would benefit from a Mini Medics session this summer, we’d love to hear from you!

That’s why we are thrilled to introduce IOSH Managing Safely to our training portfolio - a course that perfectly complements our existing workplace safety offerings and helps businesses create a safer working environment.

Workplace safety isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about building a culture where safety is at the heart of every decision. This course is a significant step towards that goal, empowering managers and supervisors with the knowledge they need to protect their teams and businesses.

A More Rounded Solution for Businesses

At FabTraining, we already provide a range of first aid, fire safety, and health & safety courses to help businesses meet their compliance needs. But safety isn’t just about having trained first aiders on site—it’s about preventing accidents in the first place.

It equips managers with the skills to proactively manage safety risks, ensuring that workplace incidents are minimised before they happen. When combined with our other training courses, it creates a full-circle approach to workplace safety, helping businesses not only react to emergencies but prevent them entirely.
