About
Kendall Training has grown significantly over the past six years. We started out as one person fitting in training around her children. Samantha Kendall started the business offering First Aid Training to businesses as this was her skill, due to her experience on the front-line ambulances for seven years. This grew and meant taking on associate trainers. As the business developed and expanded, Mental Health Training was introduced along with a mental health nurse. The business is growing from strength to strength holding contracts with some large companies including the Royal Air Force.
In 2020 the business outgrew the name SK First Aid Training and has now become Kendall Training. We are proud to work with our associate trainers and the Shaw Mind charity delivering the highest standard of training and receiving the most positive feedback possible on every course.
Our mission is to deliver life saving and life changing training to ensure physical and mental suffering is reduced.
We are a team of passionate trainers who love doing what we do and the drive to help is outstanding.
