Our Emergency First Aid At Work – One Day training course is tailored for first aiders working in small as well as low-risk environments.
When complete, all learners will have the skills and knowledge to provide the organisation with Emergency First Aiders that can provide treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.
Duration
A minimum of six contact hours in the classroom, consisting of practical and theoretical activities. Furthermore, some pre-course activity could be required.
Entry Requirements
Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation. For example, a learner will need to get to the floor unassisted and demonstrate effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a manikin at floor level.
If you have any concerns please get in touch to discuss before booking a course.
Syllabus
A range of subjects are covered such as:
- Responsibilities and reporting

Certification
Firstly, the practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor, and a three-year qualification will be issued to those who satisfy the criteria. In addition, the HSE strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme which is approximately three hours.
Numbers
A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment.
Furthermore, a student cannot assume responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role.
Finally, our courses run based on a minimum of four delegates.
