❓ Can you come to my workplace and run a course?

At the moment, we’re only able to offer sessions at our designated training venues, such as Safety Central, as all of our trainers are volunteers and we don’t have the capacity to deliver sessions off-site.

We’d love to welcome you to one of our monthly free community courses—details and bookings are available via our Eventbrite page.

❓ Can you run a course for my group?

We can normally run an evening course for a group. We usually agree the minimum numbers, and open the course upto the public if that's not met. This may depend on the group though. Please get in touch to discuss. hello@heartstartlymm.org.uk
