About 1st Steps First Aid

Whether you're a parent wanting peace of mind, an educator working with children, or a professional in any sector needing adult first aid qualifications, our courses are designed to be fun, interactive, and unforgettable. Every certified course meets HSE standards, carries Ofqual accreditation, and aligns with the EYFS statutory framework where applicable, so you get serious qualifications with a smile. Because when training is enjoyable, confidence sticks. Founded in 2017 by Natalie Wales, an airline cabin crew member with over 20 years of experience handling real-life emergencies at 35,000 feet, 1st Steps First Aid was born out of a passion for helping others feel prepared and empowered. Natalie’s calm, confident approach and deep understanding of safety protocols bring a unique energy to every course, making training not only effective but genuinely enjoyable.
