Every course we deliver is built around real-life situations. Our trainers have years of hands-on experience as active first aiders, so what you learn isn’t theory, it’s practical, usable knowledge you’ll remember.
We regularly hear from attendees about how their training has made a real difference, whether at work, at home, or in unexpected emergencies. That’s why we’re so passionate about what we do.

About us!
At Cracking Training, we believe everyone should feel empowered with the skills and confidence they need to live their best lives. Our trainers are passionate about making First Aid skills accessible to everyone. The knowledge and confidence gained through this training can be truly life-changing.
Our team comes from backgrounds where we have seen the benefits of First Aid training every day. Between just five of us, we have more than 180 years’ experience as First Aiders and 83 years’ experience proudly training thousands of First Aiders. For the past 11 years, we have supported local businesses across BCP, Dorset and Hampshire, working with large organisations, medium-sized businesses, construction companies, schools, charities, hair and beauty salons, hospitality and hotels, children’s workers, nurseries, care agencies, property management companies, sports clubs and instructors, personal trainers, dance schools, and many more.
Some people choose to learn First Aid so they can protect their loved ones. In reality, you are often more likely to use your First Aid skills on yourself or those closest to you. The personal, relatable stories shared by our trainers are a powerful reminder of just how valuable these skills can be.
Our regulated courses are valid for three years and include a free annual online refresher for each attendee. Because our courses are regulated, they help you meet health and safety due diligence requirements, as well as insurance compliance needs. Our trainers, course content, training methods and equipment are also regularly monitored, giving you confidence that you are receiving up-to-date First Aid training.
Everyone attending our courses can feel reassured that our training is inclusive, encouraging and friendly. Delegates leave feeling empowered — and many tell us they had lots of fun too.

Our Many Valued Clients
Hear from Our Customers
"We recently had two of our engineers attend a First Aid course to renew their certification, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and efficient throughout, and when we needed to reschedule, this was handled quickly and without any hassle.
The course itself was engaging and enjoyable — both engineers commented on how much they got out of it. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable, delivering the content in an informative yet relaxed and fun way, which made it easy to stay engaged. There were plenty of laughs along the way, which really helped create a positive learning environment.
An added bonus was the cookies, which went down very well!
Overall, a great experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Thank you once again and we will not hesitate in using your services again, should the need arise."
— Leonie Rylands, Mission Road Electrical
"Bryan provided an in-house training session for a group of teachers and school managers; the session was well-received, engaging, and informative."
— The Bournemouth School of English
"As a Sports Rehabilitator, I need to renew my First Aid qualification every three years. When I moved to the area over 10 years ago, I was looking for a local training provider and was fortunate to find Crackin First Aid with a simple Google search.
From my very first enquiry, the team were friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in providing information about available course dates. Having completed many First Aid courses over the years, they can often feel like something you simply have to tick off. However, Crackin First Aid is different.
I’ve now completed three courses with them, and every one has been engaging, enjoyable, and highly relevant. The trainers use real-life experiences and practical examples to bring the course to life, making the training memorable and genuinely valuable rather than just another mandatory qualification.
I continue to recommend Crackin First Aid to my colleagues and clients who need First Aid training. Their professionalism, expertise, and approachable teaching style make them an excellent choice."
