    The course was delivered with professionalism, accuracy and depth. The trainer made sure we all felt confident in an area before we moved on. I feel much more confident in being a first aider. Thank you

    Access to our Bedford First Aid training location is easiest by car. The venue is well placed in a quiet area of Bedford. 

    There's free parking available in the streets close to the hall, and a One-Stop and other shops within walking distance for lunches.

    The One-Stop car park has recently become limited to 4 hours of free parking, so make sure you comply with all parking regulations in the area.

    Address:

    Wrest Park Enterprise Centre

    Bedfordshire

    MK45 4HS

    Our Mid-Bedfordshire courses are held in Wrest Park Enterprise Centre, which sits within the grounds of Wrest Park in Silsoe, half way between Bedford and Luton.

    Access is again easiest by car. From the east and west, the best route is via the A507 to Clophill, and then south on the A6. Wrest Park is well signposted as you travel around 1.5 miles south of Clophill.

    From the North and Bedford, travel southwards on the A6 to Clophill, and then follow the above instructions. From a southerly direction the best route is directly north on the A6. Follow the signs to Silsoe, and then the brown signs to Wrest Park.

    Please note that Wrest Park is not accessible directly from the A6. You need to go into Silsoe, and access from Silsoe High Street.

    There's plenty of free parking at the venue.

    Our St Neots training venue sits just off the Wyboston roundabout, close to the A1 Wyboston Interchange.

    Access is easiest by car, and the venue is ideally placed for those based in St Neots, but is also well placed for access from Bedford in the west, Huntingdon to the North, Sandy, Biggleswade and Letchworth to the couth and Cambridge to the east. 

    As it's not in the town centre, you don't have to battle with the busy traffic (think of how much time you'll save avoiding the middle of Cambridge, if you're out that way!

    There's free parking available at the Premier Inn St Neots (A1/Wyboston) right next door, by agreement between the venue and Premier Inn.
