Practical learning.
Individual support.

Over 20 years of teaching experience informs a flexible, engaging approach to first aid training.

First aid training
Training adapted to organisations and their learners.
What is the teaching approach like?

Training is practical and engaging, with an emphasis on participation rather than simply listening. Charlotte adapts delivery to the environment and the people taking part. If you have questions about particular activities or participation, discuss them before arranging your course.

Can we discuss adjustments or individual learning needs?

Absolutely. Charlotte has experience adapting training for neurodivergent learners, including learners with ADHD and autism. Share any individual needs or adjustments you would like to discuss when you enquire, so you can explore a suitable approach together.

Which areas do you cover?

Active Education focuses on Kent and surrounding areas, including Surrey, Sussex, Essex and South East London.

Travel further afield can be discussed. Include your location in your enquiry so Charlotte can talk through the possibilities with you.

How do we enquire, and what information should we provide?

Use the contact page to send Charlotte your requirements. It helps to include your organisation’s name, location, the course you are considering, an approximate number of learners and any preferred dates.

Please also mention your working environment, learning needs or adjustments you would like to discuss. You do not need to have chosen a course before getting in touch.

What if I need more detail before arranging training?

Ask Charlotte about any details important to your organisation, including assessment arrangements, certificates, venue requirements or booking terms. Discuss these directly before making arrangements so you have the information you need for your team.
