Vital Signs Scotland — Saving Lives Through Training

Vital Signs Scotland specialises in first aid, workplace safety and emergency preparedness training, helping businesses, organisations and community groups across Scotland develop the skills and confidence to respond effectively when it matters.

Our courses include First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid, Marine First Aid, First Responder Training, Basic and Immediate Life Support for healthcare and dental teams, Mental Health First Aid, Fire Safety and Fire Marshal Training, Moving and Handling of Objects, Evacuation Chair and Mat Training, and Safeguarding. We offer regulated qualifications and vocational training options to suit different roles, workplaces and sectors.

Led by an instructor with extensive policing, emergency incident response and community first responder experience, our training combines clear instruction with practical exercises and realistic scenarios. We focus on helping learners understand what to do, practise essential skills and apply them confidently.

Choose the training route that works for you:

• Book an Open Course: join a scheduled course at our Bathgate training venue, with individual places available to book.

• Book On-Site Group Training: bring training directly to your workplace or chosen venue across Scotland and elsewhere in the UK. Group bookings start from four learners, with most courses accommodating up to 12.

We can adapt examples, scenarios and delivery to your organisation’s risks and working environment while maintaining the requirements of the qualification. Flexible and split-session delivery is available where course requirements permit, alongside online and blended learning options.

Beyond courses, our emergency preparedness consultancy, plan reviews and realistic exercises help organisations strengthen their arrangements and put training into practice.

Whether you are booking one place or developing a training programme for your team, you can expect responsive service, engaging instruction and a practical focus on creating safer workplaces.
