About ASTS
Company Profile
ASTS was established in the 1980s to provide HSE approved and certificated first aid and SIA security training in London, Kent, Sussex and Surrey. We currently supply trainers to the London Fire & Rescue service to facilitate their bespoke Immediate Emergency Care course for fire fighters. ASTS has since expanded its portfolio to include workplace first aid, casualty handling, specific hazard training including automatic external defibrillator (AED) training, fire and evacuation training, basic fire awareness, fire marshalling and employer/employee risk awareness and assessment training, all to national legislative standards. First Aid for Mental Health and Equality, Diversity and Ethnicity courses have also been added, both of which are increasingly vital in the workplace today. ASTS was acquired by REPS Marketing Ltd as from 1st January 2026, training will still be carried out by ASTS staff and their affiliations.
