Course Outline
Introduction: To become a qualified emergency first aider, learners will have to have successfully passed at least a one-day formal training course that is accredited through an awarding organisation (AO). The proposed course covers this requirement. This course covers the full EFAW Emergency First Aid at Work syllabus plus additions (including Heart Attacks, Head Injuries, Asthma, breaks and sprains) and is ideal for smaller workplaces that present few health and safety risks, where a nominated or appointed person is required to take charge in the event of an illness or accident.
The course involves practical and multiple-choice assessments and you will receive a Certificate, valid for 2 years.
Who should attend?
This course is a regulated First Aid course. It is ideal for ‘nominated’ persons responsible for the First Aid provision in smaller low risk businesses or for people who provide support to qualified First Aiders in larger organizations and those with more complex risks. It is also the course required by Insurance Companies asking for a First Aid training qualification.
