Key Features of Our Course
There are plenty of emergency first aid at work courses out there. So, what sets our course apart?
Perhaps the most important distinction is that we make sure the day is hands-on, giving you plenty of chances to practice what you’ve learned, instead of sitting in classrooms listening to boring theory.
What’s more, our courses are delivered by fully qualified trainers who can walk you through genuine scenarios, plus everything we teach is fully aligned with UK Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
We also offer flexibility to our students. The first aid at work training can either be taken entirely in a classroom, or you can choose the blended course, which lets you mix classroom-based learning with online learning.
And at the end of your course, you’ll receive an emergency first aid at work certificate, valid for 3 years. This will prove to employers that you’ve got what it takes to deal with emergencies and is widely accepted across the UK.
Who is Emergency First Aid Training For?
This course is primarily designed for those working in low- and medium-risk workplaces. This can include those working in:
- Offices
- Retail
- Bars and restaurants
- Light industrial sites
You do not need any prior medical experience to take this course. However, you will need a basic level of English, though we’ll make every effort to accommodate those who don’t speak English as a first language.
For those working in educational settings, we would recommend our paediatric first aid course instead.
How Does the Course Work?
Your emergency first aid at work training is typically a one-day course that runs from 9 am until 4 pm. It’s held at our Northamptonshire training centre, though we regularly run courses in other locations as well. Plus, we can arrange on-site training for your team.
There’s no need to bring anything to your emergency first aid at work training, as we provide everything you’ll need, including all training tools and workbooks.
At the end of the first aid emergency course, you’ll be assessed via a practical demonstration of your skills – there are no written exams required to receive your emergency first aid at work certificate.
