  • your offices or staff are based within striking distance of Bedford or central Bedfordshire

    Take a look at a selection of comments about our Silsoe and Bedford First Aid courses:

    The course was delivered with professionalism, accuracy and depth. The trainer made sure we all felt confident in an area before we moved on. I feel much more confident in being a first aider. Thank you

    Training Venues

    Our Bedford First Aid Training Venue

    Address:
    Bedford Town Football Club
    The Eyrie
    Meadow Lane
    Cardington
    Bedford
    MK44 3LW

    Bedford Town FC sits just off the Cambridge Road, which is accessed from Bedford Southern bypass (A421) at the Cardington Road junction.

    Access to our Bedford Town FC is easiest by car, and the venue is well placed for access from Bedford itself as well as St Neots, Sandy and Biggleswade in the East, Ampthill and Luton to the south, Milton Keynes to the west and Northampton and Wellingborough to the north.

    There's free parking available at the ground, right outside the training room.

    Our Silsoe First Aid Training Venue

    Address:
    Wrest Park Enterprise Centre
    Wrest Park
    Silsoe
    Bedfordshire
    MK45 4HS

    Our Mid-Bedfordshire courses are held in Wrest Park Enterprise Centre, which sits within the grounds of Wrest Park in Silsoe, half way between Bedford and Luton.

    Access is again easiest by car. From the east and west, the best route is via the A507 to Clophill, and then south on the A6. Wrest Park is well signposted as you travel around 1.5 miles south of Clophill.

    From the North and Bedford, travel southwards on the A6 to Clophill, and then follow the above instructions. From a southerly direction the best route is directly north on the A6. Follow the signs to Silsoe, and then the brown signs to Wrest Park.

    Please note that Wrest Park is not accessible directly from the A6. You need to go into Silsoe, and access from Silsoe High Street.

    Once again, there's plenty of parking at the venue.
