Our purpose-built centre in Stockton-on-Tees, two mobile education units that bring the classroom to you, or training delivered on your own premises.
Three ways to train with Medipro
Most of our courses run at our training centre in Stockton-on-Tees. Our mobile education units bring the classroom and the kit to you, anywhere in the country. And for employers with a group to train, we can deliver on your own premises. The content and the tutors are the same wherever you learn.
Faraday House, Stockton-on-Tees
Our purpose-built centre with classrooms, a clinical simulation bay, an outdoor training area and free parking.
Faraday House is our home on Sopwith Close, a short drive from the A66 and A19 with free on-site parking. It is built for hands-on training: several classrooms, a clinical skills and simulation medical bay, and an outdoor area where learners work on realistic scenarios in all weathers.

What the centre offers
Free on-site parking
Park at the door. No permits, no charges, and easy access from the A66 and A19.
Multiple classrooms
Light, well-equipped teaching rooms sized for small groups.
Clinical skills and simulation bay
A medical bay set up for clinical skills practice and simulated patient care.
Outdoor simulation and training area
Rescue scenarios, vehicles, a collapsed-structure rubble zone, a sand pit and a raised platform.
Library and private study
Quiet space with computers and reference books for study between sessions.
Shower facilities
Useful after practical sessions or a cycle to the centre.
Quiet room
A multi-faith room for prayer, reflection or a few minutes away from the classroom.
Easy to reach
Close to the A66 and A19, rail links and two airports. Open 8.00 to 17.00, Monday to Friday.
Realistic training, outdoors
The outdoor area lets us run the scenarios that cannot happen in a classroom: extricating a casualty from a car, working in a collapsed building, treating a patient on uneven ground, and loading into a real ambulance. It is used across our practical courses.

Direct access from the A66 and A19, with free on-site parking at the centre.
By rail
Darlington is on the East Coast Main Line, under three hours from London King’s Cross, with direct services from Edinburgh, Newcastle, York and Leeds. Eaglescliffe is the nearest station to the centre, with parking, cycle storage and ticket facilities.
By air
Teesside International Airport is around twenty minutes away and Newcastle Airport about an hour, with direct flights from Aberdeen, Belfast and Dublin.
Staying nearby
Many learners on multi-day courses stay locally so they arrive relaxed and can make the most of the evenings. We have agreed learner rates with the Sporting Lodge Inn in Middlesbrough, a 5 to 10 minute drive from the centre, with free parking, an on-site pub and restaurant, and free use of the gym and 25-metre pool.

Mobile education units
Not every course needs to happen at a training centre. Our two mobile education units are purpose-built vehicles that carry a complete classroom and the full clinical kit for 20 learners, so we can deliver the same hands-on training at your site as we do at Faraday House. They travel nationwide and have been deployed internationally.

What travels with us
Each unit was designed around our equipment rather than adapted from a standard van. Everything has a fixed place, so it arrives secure, is unloaded in minutes and is accounted for at the end of the day.
Clinical equipment
Monitoring, airway and ventilation, suction, defibrillation and the consumables for a full practical course.
Simulation kit
Manikins, training aids and scenario equipment for realistic practice.
The classroom
Teaching materials, assessment paperwork and everything the tutor needs to run the day.
Power and storage
On-board power, purpose-built shelving and fold-down work surfaces, with an awning for working outside the unit.
Purpose-built shelving keeps every item in its placeEquipment mounts and fold-down work surfaces
What we need from you
Very little. A good space to teach and work in, wifi, and somewhere to park the unit. We bring everything else. We can usually mobilise with two to four weeks’ notice. Call 01325 609030 or use our contact form to check availability.
At your workplace
If you have a team to train, we can run the course on your premises. Our tutors bring the equipment, and for ambulance and pre-hospital courses we can bring a Medipro ambulance too. Learners train in the environment they work in, and you avoid the cost and downtime of travel.

Your setting, our kit
The same clinical equipment and simulation kit we use at Faraday House.
Any group size, anywhere
From a handful of staff to a full cohort, with a mobile unit for larger groups. We deliver nationwide and internationally.
The same quality
Same tutors, same assessment standards and the same certificates as our centre-based courses.
