First Aid at Work (3-Day)
The First Aid at Work (FAW) course is our most comprehensive workplace first aid qualification. This three-day course provides learners with advanced knowledge and practical skills to respond confidently to a wide range of injuries, illnesses, and medical emergencies at work.
This First Aid at Work training delivers in-depth instruction in essential life-saving techniques. Learners develop the ability to assess incidents, manage casualties, and deliver effective first aid until professional help arrives. As a result, trained staff can act quickly and safely when every second counts.
The course is delivered in line with the Approved Code of Practice L74 and fully complies with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Therefore, it offers recognised and compliant training for nominated workplace first aiders and supports employers in meeting their legal responsibilities.
This FAW course suits staff working in higher-risk or hazardous environments, such as factories, warehouses, construction sites, and industrial settings. However, it also meets the needs of organisations in lower-risk environments, including offices, retail settings, and public-facing workplaces, where a higher level of first aid cover is required.
To increase flexibility, we also offer a blended learning option. This approach combines guided online learning with face-to-face practical training, allowing learners to complete theory at their own pace before developing hands-on skills with a qualified instructor.
For employers, this Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved First Aid at Work course helps meet statutory duties and reduce workplace risk. In addition, it supports safer working environments by ensuring staff, customers, and visitors receive prompt and effective care in the event of an accident, injury, or sudden illness.
Overall, this First Aid at Work qualification strengthens emergency preparedness, builds confidence, and helps organisations maintain high standards of workplace safety.
