Group & On-site Training.

With this training a client books a course which will be delivered at their place of work in a suitable meeting or board room and all the attending delegates will be from one organization and covered with one fixed price.

This option has many benefits including less work disruption, no travel time or expenses and most importantly it can be much more cost effective, especially for Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work.  

At Bells Down Training all our training is delivered on site, which means you get all the benefits of on site training plus market-leading value and high quality training delivered by serving or former blue light professionals. 

 

Keep in mind.

It is worth baring in mind that VAT may or may not be included in advertised prices — check with the provider.  
Costs can vary between location, prices will be higher in London as opposed to somewhere like Derbyshire due to venue and trainer rates.
