Emergency First Aid at work 1-day course

The QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification designed for those who have a specific responsibility at work, to provide first aid in a range of emergency first aid situations.

It is also ideal for people who have a specific responsibility to provide basic first aid in voluntary and community activities.

The course is for a minimum of 6 hours in the classroom, consisting of practical and theoretical activities.

Cost: £80 per person excluding VAT

Emergency First Aid at work 3-day course

It is a requirement of the Health and Safety law that employers provide a safe and healthy environment to work in. If your assessment of first aid shows a need for qualified first aiders, then this level 3 qualification will provide you with suitable, highly trained personnel.

This comprehensive 3-day course covers a wide range of first aid emergencies. It enables all participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way.

The course is for a minimum of 18 hours spread over 3 days. Ideally, the course should be run over 3 consecutive days, but we have the flexibility to accommodate your specific needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Please note that we may be able to offer bespoke training sessions for businesses that wish to have a training session for  10 to 12 employees at the same time. Please contact the Business Hub directly for more details.
