The cost breakdown is as follows: - £495 per day for the trainer, equipment, and consumables (currently no VAT). - £18 per person for registration and certification for First Aid courses.

For smaller teams we keep a simple price structure so you can quickly work out how much it will cost. 1-2 people is £260 per day if you are in the Lochaber area. 3-4 people standard price for that course, i.e. 4 x Emergency First Aid at Work @ £129 is £516. 5 people 10% off. If you are outside the Lochaber area the minimuim course size is 4, plus travel at 45p per mile and if needed accommodation For more than 6 we normally charge £495 per day and £18 certification per person as this works out cheaper. No VAT payable.
Course for small team & groups
Accommodation
For multi day courses or those more than two hours from PH33 7JP we may need to add accomdation costs. This is normally from £75 to £150 per night. With the exact dates we can then confirm final accommodation costs. If you have accommodation for the trainer, it may reduce your total cost.
Probably! Our core area is the Highlands council and Argyll council. We have done course on the Isle of Bute, Eigg, Iona and Skye. West on the mainland we cover Ardnamurchan, Lochaline, Kilchoan, Oban and Argyll. East to Aberdean, Inverness, Nairn and Elgin North to Wick and Thurso, then across to Ullapool, Applecross and Tongue. South to Edinburgh and Glasgow. We charge mileage but not travel time, even for the islands.
Do you cover our area of Scotland?
What size room?
We have delivered first aid training courses in workshops, barns, castles and stately homes; even forests and yurts. All we need is enough room for half the course to lie on the floor and the other half to have space to move around them safely. We bring matts and plastic sheets to keep every one comfortable. Electricity is useful but we can deliver a course without. Access to a toilet is always good.
We don't have space?
No problem your local knowledge will help us find a venue, a local hall, hotel or collaberating with other local business and organisations. Local venues often cost from about £85 to £150 a day. If you are near Fort William, we often use Kilmallie Free Church; depending on the room hired, this costs from £85 to £150 per day for a modern, spacious venue with fantastic views down the loch.
