First Aid at Work Course (18hrs / 3 Days)
This comprehensive 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course is designed for individuals who are designated as workplace first aiders, particularly in higher-risk environments such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and large organisations.
The course provides in-depth training in a wide range of first aid skills, enabling learners to confidently assess, manage, and respond to workplace emergencies. Delivered by experienced instructors, the training combines theoretical knowledge with practical, scenario-based learning to ensure you are fully prepared for real-life situations.
Our instructors will equip you with the skills and confidence to take control in emergency situations, carry out effective casualty assessments, and provide appropriate care until emergency services arrive.
This course is highly practical, with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and realistic workplace scenarios. Learners will gain the confidence and competence required to act effectively during emergencies in a professional environment.
The First Aid at Work qualification meets Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements and is widely recognised across industries as the standard for workplace first aid training.
