Stephanie Austin, who leads Prima Cura Training, lived in Godalming for eight years. She knows Nightingale Road. She knows the town centre. She knows The Star. She still can’t quite watch the bit in The Holiday where Cameron Diaz drives the wrong way past it.

Joanne Austin (no relation) is a Prima Cura associate trainer who lives in Godalming and delivers first aid and social care training in and around the town. Between the two of us, we have delivered training for domiciliary care agencies, Personal Health Budget employers, and local businesses in Godalming directly. This is not a location we’ve listed as a service area and visited twice. It’s somewhere we know, cover regularly, and have genuine roots in.

Who We Train in Godalming

Care Homes and Domiciliary Providers

Surrey has one of the highest proportions of older residents of any county in England. The care sector serving Waverley district is substantial and closely inspected. Joanne delivers training for care providers in and around Godalming regularly, and Steph has delivered directly to domiciliary care agencies in the area. For CQC-regulated providers, training documentation needs to stand up to scrutiny, and the consequences of falling short in an inspection are significant.

Care Certificate across all 16 standards, Moving and Handling People, Safeguarding, Medication Awareness, and Mental Health First Aid are all delivered on-site, with full documentation provided.

Personal Health Budget Employers

Individual employers using Personal Health Budgets to employ their own care workers carry the same training obligations as any employer, but typically have less administrative infrastructure around them. We have delivered training for PHB employers in and around Godalming and understand what accessible, compliant training looks like in a self-directed care context. If you are a PHB employer or you support people who are, get in touch, and we will work out what you actually need.

Independent Schools and Education Settings

Charterhouse School sits on the edge of Godalming and is one of England’s most prominent independent boarding schools. The borough also includes primary schools, nurseries, and further education settings, all of which carry distinct first aid and safeguarding obligations. For early years settings, paediatric first aid is a legal requirement tied to Ofsted registration. Boarding schools carry additional responsibilities: a 24-hour duty of care requires first aid provision that reflects the full breadth of the school’s operational and pastoral role.

We advise on the appropriate level of provision before confirming any course. We do not default to the most expensive option.

Our Paediatric First Aid course (12 hours) meets the Ofsted requirement for early years providers. Emergency Paediatric First Aid (6 hours) meets the requirements for specific settings and roles.

Independent Businesses and Professional Services

The obligation to provide adequate first aid under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 applies to any employer, including small offices with no obvious physical hazards. For most professional services businesses in Godalming, one or two members of staff holding a current Emergency First Aid at Work certificate is the most proportionate way to meet that requirement.

We will confirm what you actually need based on your team size and working environment. Not the most expensive course, the right one.

Hospitality and Retail

The restaurants, cafes, pubs, and independent retailers on and around the high street carry the same first aid obligations as any employer. We have delivered first aid training for Godalming businesses directly. For smaller teams, Emergency First Aid at Work for one or two staff members is usually both the legal minimum and the most practical approach.

Training Courses Available in Godalming

All courses are delivered on-site at your premises. We bring all equipment and materials. No travel disruption for your team, no venue to book, and scenarios that reflect the actual environment your people work in.

What We Offer That Others Don’t

Large national providers list Godalming as a service area. What they typically cannot offer is a named associate trainer who lives in the town, documented delivery history with local care and PHB employers, or a quality assurance framework built for regulated environments rather than adapted from a corporate model.

Prima Cura brings the governance and accreditation of a properly structured training provider with the kind of local knowledge that only comes from actually being here.

Common Questions

Do you deliver training for boarding schools in the Godalming area?

Yes. Independent boarding schools have specific first aid obligations that go well beyond the standard workplace requirement. A 24-hour duty of care requires provision that reflects the full scope of the school’s operational and pastoral responsibilities. We will advise on appropriate course types before confirming anything.

Can you deliver safeguarding training alongside first aid?

Yes. Safeguarding Adults and Safeguarding Children and Child Protection are both available for on-site delivery. For education settings, we can arrange a coordinated programme covering first aid and safeguarding in a format that fits around your school timetable.

We’re a small Godalming business. What do we need?

For most small teams in a standard office or commercial setting, one person holding a current Emergency First Aid at Work certificate is the right starting point. We will confirm exactly what fits your risk profile and working environment before you commit to anything.

How quickly can you arrange training?

We typically work within two to four weeks of initial contact for scheduled delivery. If you have an urgent compliance requirement, call us directly, and we will give you the earliest available date.
