NUCO Training prides itself on the quality of service, support, and essential back-up provided to all its customers and trained instructors. The company has invested significantly in recent years to offer clients the latest state-of-the-art technical support, while still recognising the importance of maintaining personal contact, which is often lacking in many modern businesses.

NUCO works with numerous national and international companies, including the Military, HM Prison Service, BAE Systems PLC, McDonald’s Restaurants Ltd, Marks & Spencer, Virgin Trains, Ashbury Educational Services Ltd, Babcock International Group PLC, Capita Health and Wellbeing, Leonard Cheshire Disability, and the majority of local authorities across the UK. This positions us as the UK’s leading independent provider of First Aid training.

The company’s activities cover all aspects of First Aid, Defibrillation, Health & Safety, and Food Safety training. In particular, NUCO Training specialises in training instructors in these specific areas of compliance, with instructor courses held in Paignton and throughout the UK all year round.

The provision of First Aid has undergone significant changes recently, with a complete review of the HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and the development of new accredited qualifications that are part of the qualifications framework in England, Wales, Northern Ireland (Ofqual), and in Scotland (SQA).

NUCO Training is proud to have been involved in and influential in such changes and developments, which are still ongoing.
