About Us
Since forming in 1992, Back to Life has established itself as a leading training company in the South East specialising in basic and advanced resuscitation, First Aid and health and safety.
Our highly professional team of trainers have a wealth of experience in both the subject they teach and their ability to impart their knowledge and skills to our clients.
We provide a wide range of courses, designed to give our delegates the necessary skills to help recognise and manage emergencies in the workplace or home. Our in-depth training is both stimulating and varied with a strong practical emphasis.
Client satisfaction is of primary importance, therefore all of our courses are reviewed regulary to include the latest practices and ensure we meet our client's requirements.
Each year Back to Life trains over 5000 delegates; the popularity and success of our courses rooted in the practical emphasis and investment in the professional development of our trainers.
We take pride in our high standard of training, and are rewarded in the knowledge that we are making the community a safer place. Above all, Back to Life will continue to further develop its reputation as a business that delivers a quality service.
