FAST First Aid & Special Training

What FAST First Aid & Special Training does

FAST First Aid & Special Training (ТОВ «ФЬОРСТ ЕЙД ФАСТ») is a Ukrainian corporate training provider founded in Odesa in 2016 by Fedor Serdiuk and Ihor Korpusov, specializing in certified first-aid, fire-safety, tactical-medicine, and operational-security programs. Its product portfolio spans seven core programs — Complex (mid-level general first aid), Urban Trauma (advanced trauma), Ready (comprehensive two-day flagship), First Aid in War Conditions (civilian tactical medicine), Stop The Bleed, First Aid for Children, and a VR Training add-on — plus BPR/CPD accreditation modules for licensed medical and education professionals and a hardware stream supplying first-aid kits, tourniquets, hemostatic bandages, and related equipment. The technical foundation combines international curricula from the European Resuscitation Council, American Heart Association, American College of Surgeons (Stop The Bleed), International Trauma Life Support, and the MARCH/TECC tactical-medicine algorithms, adapted to Ukrainian regulatory requirements under MOH Orders 398 and 441.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: 95% of training is delivered on-site at the client's premises across all of Ukraine, including front-line and temporarily occupied regions when conditions allow, with the remaining ~5% delivered as public scheduled sessions in cities such as Odesa and through online formats. Pricing is fully quote-based per client (no published tiers), driven by instructor hours, equipment, risk profile, margin, and travel/logistics costs, with multi-year contract cadence aligned to the 2-year certification cycle. The customer base comprises 260+ corporate and institutional clients across energy (DTEK, Naftogaz, Ukrnafta, Ukrgazvydobuvannya, NEK Ukrenergo), industrial/agribusiness (Metyinvest, Kernel, Astarta), retail (Metro, Carlsberg, Lux Optica), IT/telecom (Lenovo, Kyivstar, Uklon), transport/logistics (Nova Poshta), finance (Citibank, Ukrgasbank), and government (NAZK, DP Medical Procurements), supported by partnerships with the Andrii Matiukha Foundation, Favbet Foundation, Reskilling Ukraine, PULSE, AmCham Ukraine, and UNIT.City.

FAST is privately held by its founders with no disclosed external funding; its operating geography is restricted to Ukraine (with wartime limitations on temporarily occupied territories), and its growth runway is structurally tied to Ukrainian enterprise compliance requirements, the wartime civilian-tactical-medicine curriculum gap, and foundation-funded large-scale programs such as the UKrenergo Repair Workers initiative (~1,500 workers, ~75 sessions).

Direct peers

• St. John Ambulance: UK-headquartered charity delivering certified workplace and community first aid, CPR and AED training to corporate clients. Closest global analog to FAST's enterprise field-sales, internationally-certified course portfolio.
• International Trauma Life Support (ITLS): Global non-profit offering trauma life support training and instructor certification programs. FAST references ITLS as a core curriculum source, making it a directly comparable curriculum-and-accreditation peer.
• European Resuscitation Council: Pan-European body issuing BLS/ALS course standards that FAST teaches and certifies against. Comparable as a curriculum authority and accredited training provider across multiple European markets.
• Resuscitation Council UK: UK body setting CPR/AED/emergency resuscitation training standards; comparable to FAST as a curriculum and certification body whose courses FAST aligns to. Similar focus on instructor networks and certified course delivery.

Broad incumbents

• American Red Cross: Largest US provider of certified first aid/CPR/AED workplace training and emergency response education. Broader portfolio (disaster relief, blood services) but overlapping training methodology, AHA-aligned curricula and corporate sales motion.
• British Red Cross: UK arm of the Red Cross movement delivering workplace first aid training and community education programs. Overlapping course portfolio, instructor certification approach and corporate B2B sales channels.
• Falck: Global emergency services and healthcare company offering workplace safety training, first aid programs and on-site medical staffing. Overlaps FAST's enterprise EHS training and on-site delivery motion but at much larger scale.

Regional players

• Workplace First Aid Training (Ukraine): Representative domestic Ukrainian competitor offering corporate first aid and occupational safety courses. Most directly comparable head-to-head substitute for FAST in the Ukrainian enterprise market.
• Ukrainian Red Cross Society: Primary national humanitarian organization in Ukraine running first aid courses and disaster response training. Comparable in geography and curriculum, with stronger NGO distribution but weaker corporate sales specialization.

Emerging players

• PULSE – Pre-hospital focused Ukrainian Life Saving Effort: Charitable foundation co-founded by FAST's own founder in 2022 to provide military medical and pre-hospital transfusion training. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but materially intertwined with FAST's brand and leadership.
