3 Day First Aid at Work

---

Course Overview

OFQUAL Accredited Certificate, valid for 3 years.

Our first aid at work course covers the course content specified in the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

It gives learners the skills and confidence to respond to a range of accidents and first aid emergencies they could encounter in the workplace.

This course now includes a practical, hands-on automated external defibrillator (AED) awareness session using trainer AEDs, a move which has been welcomed by the Health and Safety Executive, citing that awareness training instills greater confidence in the use of AEDs.
