First Aid Training East Scotland (FATES) was founded to enable our decades of experience in the emergency services to be utilised in the delivery of First Aid.
We have a passion for sharing our knowledge and experience with businesses, organisations and families, and for making First Aid training enjoyable.
Our aim is to help all of our learners feel prepared, confident and empowered in situations that require First Aid.
As members of the First Aid Industry Body, we keep our knowledge up to date continuously, with our own ongoing training and development.
