Emergency First Aid at Work
This course is suitable for people aged 16 or older, who work in a low hazard environment (for example an office or shop) or where Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines indicate staff should hold a certificate in emergency first aid at work.
It gives learners the skills and confidence to respond to a range of accidents and first aid emergencies they could encounter in the workplace.
If your needs assessment identifies a requirement for additional first aid training, we recommend the three day First Aid at Work course which teaches the skills to recognise and treat a wider range of injuries and medical conditions.

Each learner receives a training pack including a host of resources to help them practice the skills covered. The pack includes a course companion workbook, bandages and more.
