Here’s what they had to say
Why ‘4 Minutes’ ?
We wanted to be different from the run of the mill providers. That starts with a memorable name, but extends to the training itself. Andy, who set it up wants to emphasise that if someone stops breathing, it’s not the Ambulance Service that will save the life, nor the Community Responders or the Hospital, but the person next to them. That person can keep them alive until backed up but it’s what they do in those first few (4!) minutes that will make all the difference.
If you ever have to do something lifesaving, it is highly probable that you will know that person, perhaps be related to them. You are their best chance in those first 4 Minutes and beyond.

Free Annual Refresher training
Our main First Aid Certificates last three years. If you don’t use those skills you may become less confident. In addition, the syllabus does change from time to time. Because of this the Health and Safety Executive recommends an Annual update where you can be brought up to date and refresh your skills.
If you have an in-date First Aid Certificate from 4 Minutes you are more than welcome to drop in on one of our Public courses for free to refresh your skills and be brought up to date.
To do this:
- Find a suitable course on our Public course calendar
- Email us with your request
- We will check place availability and confirm.
- Turn up.
There are a couple of (reasonable) conditions:
- You must have an in-date First Aid qualification issued by us, not another Training Provider.
- There must be space on the course. If it is fully Booked we will offer you alternative date(s).
- Similarly we only run public courses in certain parts of the Country, we may not have one near you. You need to come to us.
- You can attend as much or as little of the course as you wish but we cannot alter the running order of the course for you.
- If you want a Certificate of attendance (valid for 1 year) this can be issued, subject to a £10 + vat fee.
