Empowering Communities with Life-Saving Skills

From Dublin to deployment, Declan Sheridan Training – trading as FAST – delivers real-world skills that save lives. We’re founded by a seasoned Defence Forces veteran and paramedic, with over 30 years of training experience across warzones, workplaces, community groups, and corporate teams.

We believe safety is everyone’s business. At DST FAST, our mission is simple: to equip people—from individuals to state agencies—with the confidence and skills to respond when it matters most. With years of hands-on experience in emergency response and workplace training, we deliver certified first aid and safety courses that are practical, engaging, and tailored to real-life scenarios. Whether you’re a business ensuring staff compliance, a school safeguarding its community, or someone who simply wants to be prepared—we’re here to help.

Every session we run is built on three core principles: knowledge, confidence, and action. That’s what transforms a bystander into a lifesaver.

Let’s build safer workplaces, smarter teams, and stronger communities—one course at a time.

“Quick Response. Best Outcome.”
