RQF Level 33 days18 guided learning hoursCertificate: 3 years
First Aid at Work course

The in-depth, three-day First Aid at Work qualification for first-timers and for anyone whose certificate has expired. Built for people who may have to hold the fort until the ambulance arrives.

What you'll learn

  • Everything in Emergency First Aid at Work, in greater depth
  • Secondary survey and managing multiple casualties
  • Fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains
  • Head, neck, spinal, chest and eye injuries
  • Major illness: heart attack, stroke, asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes
  • Poisoning, severe burns and hypothermia

Who it's for

Supervisors, site-based staff and anyone working in a hazardous environment — sharp tools, machinery, construction, manufacturing, forestry. Also the right choice if your old FAW certificate has lapsed, or you are new to first aid and want the full qualification.

Forestry & outdoor-working add-on

If your people work in forestry, agriculture, estates or anywhere an ambulance takes time to reach, we can bolt a few extra hours onto this course covering remote-site casualty care and improvised techniques. Ask for it when you book.
