AGAR BOWLES
First Aid Training
Did you know, females are 27% more likely to die as a result of an out-of-hospital cardiac event? The statistics are real, and we are working to change that.
We believe that for first aiders to be both competent and confident, inclusive training is key, and we're proud to be one of the few providers using female skin CPR manikins in our delivery. Our courses also support another signficant cause - read on to find out more.

First Aid
Our first aid courses are designed to be inclusive; the statistics on female deaths in the event of an out-of hospital cardiac event is a number that shouldn't be ignored. Hesitation and stigma around breasts means that women (that's someone's mother, sister, wife, daughter) are at risk of not receiving life saving treatment in a first aid incident requiring CPR.
​First aid requirements will look different for every business, and as part of our Health & Safety services we can help you assess your needs. ​
We offer four course options for first aid:
​
-
First Aid at Work - 3 day course
-
First Aid at Work (Refresher) - 2 day course
-
Emergency First Aid at Work - 1 day course
-
Mental Health First Aid - 2 day course
​
Our courses are accredited by Qualsafe and can be delivered directly in your premises, or we offer a mixed group* course at a local venue. Please contact us for pricing.
​
As part of our service, we'll remind you when refresher training is due in advance, making training management easier across your business.
*Mixed group sessions include employees from other businesses

Client Voices
Charlotte, Pre-Construction Project - March 2026
As a small business, finding the right first aid training provider felt daunting at first, but Agar Bowles made everything so straightforward from day one. They took the time to understand our needs and guided us with a refreshingly no fuss approach that we really appreciated.
Our team attended their First Aid course with Jon as our trainer, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable and had this wonderful way of putting everyone at ease right from the start. He made what could have been an intimidating subject feel accessible and genuinely interesting. The whole team came away feeling more confident and equipped with skills that really matter.
From the female manikins to the choking vest, you can tell Agar Bowles has invested thoughtfully in their training equipment and genuinely cares about delivering quality. It's those little details that make all the difference.
The entire experience was informative, helpful, and friendly from start to finish. We give Agar Bowles our highest recommendation and a well-deserved 5-star rating. If you're looking for first aid training, look no further!
