Course Information

First Aid in the Workplace is absolutely vital, and an invaluable life skill for any individual or team. Although the provision of appropriate First Aid at Work cover is a legal requirement, employers do not need to ensure that every single member of staff is fully qualified. However, we find that in many businesses it is prudent to ensure that every team member has at least knowledge of the basics of emergency First Aid.

The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is designed for people who feel that they do not need a full 3 day First Aid at Work course.

Duration

The EFAW requires 6 hours of teaching time. This can be taught over one day; two half-days or evening sessions. Split courses attract an extra charge, and any breaks taken are in addition to the 6 hours. Please note that the course must be completed within 3 weeks of the start date.

Assessment

Assessment is in the form of practical exercises and a straightforward multiple choice paper, and candidates must pass both elements to qualify.

Please note that candidates must be able to perform exercises at floor level where required. It is a requirement of all regulated courses that the candidate should be able to communicate effectively with Emergency Services and, although this is not assessed formally, your instructor must be satisfied that this is the case. As such, all the question papers are in English and a reader will be provided if candidates have literacy concerns or learning difficulties.

Certification

Once qualified, the certificate is valid for 3 years, at the end of which candidates will need to attend a one-day EFAW to requalify. It is recommended by HSE that all first aiders should do an annual 3 hour refresher course to keep their skills up-to-date.

Numbers

We book a maximum of 12 people per trainer. Larger groups can be accommodated with additional trainers.

Covid Safety

Currently, and in line with Government guidance, we are not requiring temperature checks, masks or gloves on any of our courses. Should you require these at your premises when we teach there can you please ensure you make us aware of your needs so that we can notify our trainers.
