3 DAY

First Aid at Work

The First Aid at Work course is our most comprehensive and thorough course designed for dealing with accidents and emergencies in the workplace. 

 

Particularly relevant to industries that may be considered higher risk environments, this 3-day course is aimed at providing candidates with the skills needed to respond quickly and effectively to any workplace incidents that may occur.

Over the 3 days, our experienced instructors will provide candidates with detailed scenarios and practical exercises that will give them a hands-on approach to first aid and test their knowledge and understanding of various unexpected situations that can arise in the workplace.

 

WHAT THIS COURSE COVERS

 

Health & Safety law now states that all employers need to provide their staff with a safe working environment. During your risk assessment, if you establish a need for highly qualified first aiders, then the 3 Day, First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification will provide an in depth and comprehensive understanding and lead to a highly trained workforce.


This is an in depth and comprehensive three-day first aid course that will cover a broad range of first aid scenarios and emergencies. This will teach all participants to deal with emergency situations as the arise with confidence in a fast, safe and effective way.

 

By attending this course, you will gain a nationally recognised First Aid at Work qualification which is valid for 3 years from the date you train and will either meet or exceed the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

 

You will be assessed throughout the course during practical scenarios, but this is not a stressful examination process. If you are not confident with a particular technique or topic that we cover, we will go over these areas in further detail until everyone is satisfied, including us. You will have ample opportunity to discuss all topics as we move through the day. A Final theory assessment will take place to ensure all your learning outcomes have been met satisfactorily to gain certification.
