Join the First Aid Training Co-operative as an Existing Businesses

Are you an existing first aid training business?  Are you looking for an alternative way to run your business that will allow you more time, provide more support, and remove the administration.

First Aid Training Co-operative’s centrally administered service allows trainers to be trainers, without the worry, and frankly, hassle of all the background administration.

However, unlike other organisations, we enable you to grow your business as much as you like, work as often as you like within our Standard Operating Procedures, and continue to benefit from new clients you bring in through our commission payments system.

We manage all the regulatory requirements of being a first aid training business, provide Internal Quality Assurance, trainer insurance, as well as all national scale marketing and all client account management, and course & financial administration.

In return for this we ask our Associate Members and Members to subscribe to the co-operative ethos – one of a mutually beneficial situation for all involved. In order to do that, we ask you to complete our induction process, and any training required, before signing up to our Associates Memorandum of Understanding.

We don’t charge more than cost price for the induction and training process to make it as accessible as possible, and we’ll invest a lot of time supporting you in return for your belief and work within the organisation.

As a co-operative, our ethos is one of working together for the shared benefit of all Members and Associates.  

At the First Aid Training Co-operative, we see these benefits as:

  • Increased Market Share – Become part of a national organisation, with national credibility, reputation, and marketing power
  • Shared Client Database – By sharing our client databases, we can generate more work through large scale marketing campaigns
  • Pooled Trainer Resources – As well as sharing the clients, we share the workload. No more disappointing clients because you are too busy, and, be able to offer different course types by using other Associates’ skills.
  • Profit Share Scheme – We share a portion of our profits each year with our charity partners, while any remaining profits after our accounts are finalised are shared equitably between our associates.
  • Shared Training, CPD, Quality Assurance and Standardisation events – Working alone, it can be difficult to keep up to date and satisfy your requirements each year. Our Training Manager oversees all of this, as well as constantly working to support and develop FATC Trainers.
  • Centralised Administration – We have invested in powerful Learning Management software, a Business Manager and office support staff, to provide a centrally administered, and almost entirely paper free, service. This means you can concentrate on training, and generating new clients.
  • Input into the Development of the Company – All Associates must attend 75% of FATC meetings, either in person, or remotely. This ensures that FATC is truly representative of its stakeholders.

And most importantly:

  • A Generous Daily Rate for Training – Plus expenses, paid promptly.
  • Continued Revenue From Member’s Clients – All existing, or new, clients added to the shared database are ‘tagged’ to that Member. This triggers a commission payment to the Member every time that Client pays for a course – regardless of which trainer runs the course, as long as Membership is current.
