I'm Alison Pugh, founder of AJP Training – a trusted provider of first aid and health and safety training in Hampshire, including Southampton and Portsmouth. With over 30 years’ experience in social care, the NHS, and local government, I’ve spent my career helping teams work safely, confidently, and in compliance with essential health and safety standards.
My training journey began in catering and hospitality before moving into health and social care. I was one of the first trainers in Hampshire to deliver manual handling of loads and later expanded into manual handling of people, fire marshal training, and first aid courses. Today, I deliver accessible, in-person training that’s designed to be practical, engaging and tailored to your team – whether you’re in a care home, office, gym, or hospitality setting.
I’ve seen first-hand how good first aid training can save lives – and how simple health and safety changes can prevent injuries, reduce staff absence, and build stronger teams. That’s why I do what I do. I’m proud to offer affordable first aid training in Southampton, Portsmouth and across Hampshire, with per-course pricing that makes it easy to train your whole team together.
Outside of work, I stay active in my local community through amateur dramatics, dance fitness, aquafit, and choir. I also serve as a child protection officer – keeping my safeguarding and risk assessment skills sharp in every area of life.
