The Emergency First Aid at Work course is a short course that must be attended for the full 6 hours of face-to-face training. We are, however, able to offer the 3-day Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) in a ‘blended learning’ format by completing 1-day of online e-learning to leave only 2-days’ worth of face-to-face training rather than 3.
Our Emergency Level 3 First Aid at Work (EFAW) 1-day courses are accredited and regulated practical courses that meet the First Aider requirements of all workplaces with less than 50 employees. This course is fully accredited by Qualifications Network which is regulated and quality assured and therefore satisfies the HSE’s requirements for workplace first aid training in the UK.
Certain techniques, such as providing CPR, are taught using practical demonstrations in a face-to-face first aid course, so it is best to wear loose fitting clothes, trousers (not skirts or dresses) and flat shoes.
