Built-in flexibility
If there’s something in particular you want to learn, just ask. My courses are entirely flexible, tailored to the needs of the people who attend.
Learning that’s fun
The courses are engaging, interactive and enjoyable. There are plenty of activities to keep things moving, and a bit of role play too.
Bra Off Defib On
All practical first aid courses include Bra Off Defib On where we teach bra removal and proper pad placement when using a defibrillator.
Excellent, she knew her stuff and explained everything in simple terms and I loved the analogies and rhythms.
Some information about your first aid trainer
My name is Jenny Legg, and I will be your first aid trainer.
I set up Training Legs First Aid in 2019 because I love teaching people how to become life-saving heroes. Also, I wanted to make first aid courses interesting and enjoyable.
I have FAA qualifications in first aid for mental health, first aid at work, paediatric first aid, anaphylaxis, oxygen management, catastrophic bleed, basic life support, CPR and safe use of an AED. I also have a PTLLS qualification, a volunteer management qualification, an assessor’s qualification, and I’m trained in stress and resilience.
At Training Legs, I mainly work with charities, schools, local councils and businesses in Sussex and Surrey.
If you have any questions, I’m always happy to answer them so feel free to get in touch.
As a new parent this workshop was fantastic. It has given me that little added assurance when looking after my little one. 10 out of 10 from me.
It was relaxed, clear and concise. I liked that you could ask any question at any time and no question was deemed silly. Nothing phased Jenny.

You’ll probably have questions, so I’ve answered some of them here.
If your question isn’t here, don’t worry. Just get in touch and I’ll provide the answer.

Which first aid courses should I take?
For the full information on how to assess your first aid needs at work, take a look at the HSE’s First Aid Needs Assessment.
Here’s a quick rundown of my courses and who they’re for.
Practical first aid courses:
- Emergency first aid at work — For any employee. You just have at least 1 qualified first aider at work for every 50 people, even if you employ just one person
- First aid at work — A higher level of training for people who work in high-risk environments.
- Requalification for first aid at work — A refresher course. You’ll need to have completed the first aid at work course (for people who work in high-risk environments) within the last 3 years.
- Paediatric first aid — A requirement for those who work in childcare
- Defibrillator workshop — Everyone
- Basic first aid — Everyone
First aid for mental health courses:
- First aid for mental health — For any employee. The HSE recommends that employers foster a positive mental health culture in the workplace and offer appropriate training to their staff.
- Awareness of first aid for mental health — For CEOs, managers and leaders with responsibility for the company’s mental health strategy and culture
- Supervising first aid for mental health — For those who want more detailed training in mental health and addiction
Is first aid difficult to learn?
The short answer is no. All my first aid courses are suitable for anyone. You don’t need any previous experience with first aid techniques, or any medical knowledge.
The aim of the course is to build your confidence. I’ll be guiding you through every step, and there’s plenty of time to practise your newly learned techniques and skills.
Why is first aid training important?
First aid training is important because having these skills allows you to save someone’s life.
Accidents, emergencies, a mental health crisis or situation can happen at any time. First aid training means you can act quickly and efficiently until professional help arrives.
How many people can attend your courses?
I give everyone individual attention so there’s a maximum of 12 people for my practical first aid courses. At the first aid for mental health courses, the maximum number is 16.
All the courses run with a minimum of 6 people.
What sets you apart from other first aid trainers?
Firstly, my courses are good fun. I make sure they’re engaging and entertaining because that way, you’re more likely to remember what you’ve learned.
Secondly, I deliver first aid training with women in mind. As well as the standard topics, we include key issues such as periods, pregnancy and the menopause — important areas often overlooked in traditional courses. It makes our training more inclusive for everyone.
Bra Off Defib On is a big part of that. Too many women die because people are unsure how to use a defibrillator correctly on them.
Do you deliver the Bra Off Defib On workshop as a separate course?
Yes. I run a 1-hour standalone Bra Off Defib On workshop for community groups through the BODO charity.
Will I need to bring anything with me to the course?
No, just bring yourself. All the equipment is provided.
What should I wear?
For the practical first aid courses, I recommend comfortable clothing — something suitable for moving around on the floor — and please don’t wear anything which can be seen through, up or down.
The first aid courses for mental health don’t involve practical exercises, so you can wear anything you like.
