We’re excited to announce that we’ve changed our name from Stan Outside to Strategic Edge Training.

This change better reflects the core of what we do today — delivering high-quality, accredited training in First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Health & Safety, and more. While our roots were in outdoor activities, our evolution into a specialist training provider called for a name that matches our focus and professional edge.

Please note that our services, team, and values remain the same — only our name and branding have changed.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you under our new name.

One of our core beliefs is that when you are outside you need to be safe and with that comes being able to look after yourself should you get injured which is why we also run the full spectrum of First Aid Courses.

Make a difference for someone considering suicide.

Recognise and respond to someone who is experiencing a mental health crisis. 

Reduce stigma around mental health issues and promote positive mental health. 

Encourage people to seek help early on, which can aid in recovery.
