This one-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is an entry-level first aid course for training individuals to act as emergency first aiders within the workplace. Like the full FAW course, it is both First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) approved and run to the current Resuscitation Council (UK) 2010 guidelines.

As a result, it provides learners with a recognised qualification that meets industry standards.

It is a 1-day (6-hour duration) course, designed to equip a person to take on the role of emergency workplace first aider with the necessary skills to manage first aid incidents. In addition, it follows Health & Safety Executive (HSE) recommended guidelines.

As a result, it gives you peace of mind knowing your workplace has capable individuals ready to respond when needed.

After successful ongoing practical assessment, this qualification certifies the first aider for a three-year period from the date of qualification.

However, HSE recommendations advise that each qualified first aider should undertake an annual skills update to refresh practical knowledge.

The course is both informative and fun. Furthermore, delegates are actively encouraged to contribute (we don’t like death by PowerPoint any more than you). Student feedback shows that we’re delivering engaging and effective training.

In short, it is a concise yet enjoyable introduction to first aid for non-first aiders. Also, it doesn’t require any prior knowledge to begin training.

Delegates presented for training by their employer or course booker should be of a suitable physical, mental, and emotional disposition to fully undertake the role of emergency first aider. Also, they should have strong communication skills and be able to manage stressful and physically demanding emergency procedures.

This course is particularly well-suited for low-risk sectors such as offices and shops.
