Leeds is Yorkshire's largest city and one of the UK's most important financial, legal and professional services hubs. Its economy also spans logistics and distribution along the M62 corridor, advanced manufacturing, retail, digital technology and a growing hospitality sector.

We work with Leeds employers of all sizes — from small professional practices to large distribution centres — delivering Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid, IOSH Managing Safely, fire safety and food safety courses in line with relevant guidance. Accreditation depends on the course and is stated on the individual course page. Certification is issued by the relevant awarding organisation.
