01 About SafeServe Solutions
Where care meets compliance — practical first aid skills, taught by experienced instructors.
SafeServe Solutions delivers accredited first aid training to businesses, schools, nurseries, sports teams and community groups across Cambridgeshire and the wider South East. Every course is built around the people in the room — small group sizes, real-world scenarios, and instructors who’ve actually used these skills in the field.
We work in a hybrid way: theory is delivered online so your team can work through it whenever suits them, and the practical, hands-on element is delivered at your premises (or a venue of your choice). Less time off the floor, more skills retained.
Real scenarios. Real confidence. Hybrid delivery across Cambridgeshire & the South East

Blended courses split the learning between online theory (which your team complete at their own pace, usually 1–4 hours) and a shorter, hands-on practical session at your premises. You get the same certificate as a classroom-only course, with significantly less time off the floor.
Where do you deliver training?
We operate as a hybrid provider — online theory anywhere in the UK, with practical sessions delivered across Cambridgeshire and the wider South East. Get in touch with your postcode and we’ll confirm.
How many people can I book on a course?
Most courses run with up to 8 learners as standard — we deliberately keep groups small so every learner gets plenty of hands-on time on the manikins and walks away genuinely confident. Larger groups (up to 12) can be arranged on request. Smaller groups (minimum 4 is typical) also work well, and we can link multiple smaller bookings together for cost-effective training.
Are your certificates HSE-recognised?
Yes — our EFAW and FAW courses meet HSE requirements for workplace first aid. Paediatric courses are EYFS-compliant for Ofsted-registered settings.
How quickly can you deliver a course?
For onsite courses we usually need 5–10 working days’ notice, but we often have last-minute dates available. Online theory can start immediately.
Do you offer refresher / annual updates?
Yes. We offer annual BLS & AED refreshers, mid-cert top-ups, and reminder notifications before your existing certificates expire.
Can I pay by invoice?
Absolutely. We invoice businesses on standard 14-day terms and accept BACS, card and PO numbers.
