Where a workplace first aid risk assessment identifies a need for an Emergency First Aider in the Workplace, this one-day qualification meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations. You’ll gain the knowledge and practical competence required to deal with a wide range of workplace first aid situations by learning basic, life-saving first aid skills.

Our Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work course is regulated by The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). Don’t accept anything else! 

The Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is also suitable for people with responsibility for the provision of first aid in other settings such as voluntary and community groups.

We use the latest first aid training technology for the most realistic experience. There’s no written test or formal assessment – just a day of fun and learning!

This qualification is regulated in the UK by Ofqual and awarded by First Aid Awards (FAA). Over the day, we’ll cover a range of introductory first aid topics including:

  • What is first aid?
  • Legislation & Responsibilities
  • Actions in an emergency

  • The respiratory system
  • Resuscitation and use of an AED (automated external defibrillator or ‘defib’)
