About Us

At Cam, you will find training specialists dedicated to delivering high quality and practical training. We operate across the UK and beyond.

Maintaining High Standards of Training

We deliver courses certified by ITC First Aid, an independent awarding body. This means that we are required to maintain high standards of training and assessment at all times and guarantees that our clients recieve the best training available. Through ITC, we deliver HSE (Health & Safety Executive) approved and OfQual/SQA* accredited training.

Nationally Recognised Qualifications
Unlike most of our competitors, our certified courses can be found on the National Qualifications Framework. They lead to level 2 awards which can form a part of staff development, Investors In People, and similar initiatives.

A Network of Experienced and Professionally Qualified Trainers
Our network of associate trainers provide industry specific and general training. Our trainers have a variety of backgrounds including business, sport and leisure, academia and teaching, land-based industries and mountain leadership.

Training Allied to Other Client Needs
Cam First Aid also provides first aid expertise as part of wider client training programmes, for example, as part of a security and conflict management programme for international workers (for more information on this programme, click here), and as a part of management development programmes.
