Compliant Course Scheduling & Candidate Management for UK First Aid Trainers
UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines mandate strict student-to-trainer ratios (typically 12 candidates per trainer) for Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), First Aid at Work (FAW), and Paediatric First Aid courses. SmartBookings ensures total compliance while streamlining candidate registration and corporate invoicing.
Purpose-Built Features for UK First Aid Training Academies
- Strict HSE Candidate Ratios & Capacity Caps: Set maximum student headcounts per course date (e.g. 12 candidates). Once the regulatory threshold is reached, dates automatically close to prevent overbooking and regulatory breaches.
- Corporate Invoicing & Multi-Candidate Bookings: Allow businesses to reserve full company cohorts or purchase multiple seats for employees with automated VAT invoice generation and PO reference tracking.
- Multi-Day & Blended Learning Schedules: Configure multi-day courses (e.g. 3-day First Aid at Work) and blended learning options combining online theory modules with practical assessment dates.
- Pre-Course Instructions & Venue Directions: Send automated confirmation emails containing venue access maps, parking directions, and what-to-wear practical CPR guidelines prior to course start dates.
- Automated CPD Requalification Reminders: Stay top-of-mind when certifications approach expiry. Automated reminder emails notify candidates and employers 3 years after qualification to re-book refresher training.
- 0% Commission on Course Fees: Retain 100% of your course tuition. Connect your UK merchant account (Stripe, Square, DOJO, WorldPay) with zero ticketing commission and flat rates from £15/month.
