First Aid at Work is the most comprehensive first aid qualification available for workplace settings. It goes significantly further than EFAW - covering a wider range of emergencies, more in-depth practical assessment and a broader clinical skillset. If your workplace is higher risk, larger, or you simply want your first aiders to be genuinely prepared for anything, this is the right course.
We've been delivering FAW for over 30 years. Our trainers know how to take a room full of people who'd rather be at their desks and turn them into confident, capable first aiders. Engaging, practical and delivered at a pace that works for your group - not a fixed script.
What this course covers
By the end of this course your first aiders will be able to respond confidently to:
- CPR and AED (defibrillator) use
- Managing an unconscious casualty
- Choking and cardiac emergencies
- Seizures and medical emergencies
- Bleeding control and wound care
- Burns, fractures and spinal injuries
- Allergies, anaphylaxis and diabetes
