Course Details & Pre-requisites:

The First Aid at Work course is a recommended standard for those designated as workplace First Aiders. The course covers a wide range of topics that will help you, as a First Aider, to deal with almost any emergency effectively until the arrival of professional help. No previous experience in First Aid is necessary to join this course, but completion of the Basic Life Support or Emergency First Aid at Work courses would be an advantage.

As of January 1st 2017, HSE insist that all First Aid at Work Qualifications are accompanied by training on the use of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators). This is in line with Resuscitation Council UK guidelines which now state that when managing a casualty requiring CPR first aiders are to request an AED.

We have taken the initiative to include this on all courses effective as of July 2016 to ensure that our clients receive the very best quality of service and up-to-date advice. AED training will be incorporated in to our First Aid at Work (including refreshers) and Emergency First Aid at Work qualifications and students will receive individual certificates to highlight AED competency.

Please note; delegates are required to bring photo ID
