The UK's Leading not-for-profit First Aid Training Company, Tigerlily Training. Established in 2004 we provide First Aid for Early Years and Childcare, Schools and Education Sector, Fire Safety and Mental Health Courses at our client's premises and our 100 UK training venues.

We are training providers to industry sectors across the UK and we pioneered blended learning for the first aid sector. Tigerlily Training ensures that our eLearning product remains the leader in the market.

We provide a mix of regulated (RQF) courses and non-regulated courses.

We adhere to the guidance of The HSE, Department for Education and The UK Resus Council and as a member of a trade body, CTQ, we are an approved training centre.

We are proud of our not-for-profit company status, which means we re-invest company profits into improving and extending our training services and course portfolio.

Tigerlily Training is accredited and monitored by CTQ (Certify Training Qualifications), a professional body for first aid training providers. In conjunction with our accreditation, we operate a thorough quality system (ISO9001) that consistently reviews and monitors our Trainers, Venues and Course Material to ensure that we are delivering the highest standard of training.

All our statutory courses such as FAW, EFAW, Paediatric and Fire Safety meet The HSE guidance and Ofsted registration requirements.

Our Paediatric Courses are suitable for EPA (End Point Assessment) for the Early Years Educator and EYFS requirements.

Our many years of training have taught us that recall is higher when using fun and interactive methods combined with visual aids.

Blended learning is delivered as a mix of trainer led practical learning and at home eLearning modules. You will receive a unique eLearning code that will give you access to our eLearning system, that you can log in and out of as often as you like and work at your own speed. We recommend completing the eLearning before your practical session, so that if you have any further questions about what you have learnt, you can discuss this with your trainer, however you will have up to four weeks following your practical session to complete the eLearning module to receive your certificate. The eLearning module supplements the teaching you have received in the classroom. During the practical session, you will work with our trainer in small groups of 2 or 3 to practice and explore all areas of first aid. 

On completion of the course you will receive an email with a link to your e-certificate. If you would like a paper certificate, please contact us.

All courses held at our UK wide training venues will start promptly at 9.30am and will finish at 16.30pm.
