Shrewsbury BID members can access regular, free first aid training for team members 

As part of our training offering, we run regular first aid 1 day training courses which give participants NUCO Emergency First Aid at Work FAA Level 3 Award (valid for 3 years) certification. This course is designed for people who want to receive training in Emergency First Aid at work and ideally suited for nominated first aiders in smaller, low risk working environments.

We also offer adhoc training on subjects that have included social media marketing, and have offered in depth retail mentoring with industry experts.
