Emergency First Aid at Work
Level 3
1 Day Course
Ofqual Regulated (RQF)
The Emergency First Aid at Work course is for anyone who wishes to become a confident first aider in low hazard workplaces such as shops, offices, gyms, hotels or where your risk assessment identifies a requirement for a First Aider trained in Emergency First Aid at Work. (see HSE guidelines). Those who attend this course will learn basic lifesaving First Aid techniques as well as being able to deal with minor injury and illness in the workplace and will receive a nationally recognised awarding body and HSE compliant certificate.
This course is a mixture of theory and practical training – all of which is based on the Ofqual regulated qualification units ‘Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work’ and
‘Recognition and Management of Injury or Illness in the Workplace’. This course complies with the minimum guided learning hours required by the Skills for Health Assessment Principles for First Aid qualifications.
Those who attend this course will need to be able to go to floor level to undertake CPR practice.
Due to the nature of the training course and the emphasis placed on communication, there is only a provision for the assessments to be undertaken in English. Therefore, candidates for this type of training must be able to understand and speak the English language.
For higher-risk environments, such as construction, manufacturing, or chemical plants, the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work course is the ideal choice, providing the necessary level of First Aid training.
