If you run a business in Chester, you already know that first aid training is a legal requirement. But what you might not know is which course you actually need. There are different levels of first aid training, and the right one depends on how many people you employ, what kind of work they do, and the risks involved.
We are PCT Services, and we deliver accredited first aid training from our training centre at First Floor, 2 Queen Street in Northwich, just a short drive from Chester. We work with every type of business, from dental practices and GP surgeries to pubs, cafes, hairdressers, garages, nurseries, schools, care homes, and shops.
