Our First Aid at Work course is for employees becoming workplace first aiders and for organisations with higher-risk environments or larger workforces. Delivered by paramedics, it covers the Emergency First Aid at Work topics in greater depth, including detailed haemorrhage control for traumatic injuries, so first aiders can manage a wider range of emergencies.

Course
Delivery
practical, engaging, and relevant.
All courses are paramedic-led. Theory is completed by e-learning, available 4 weeks before your practical day or as soon as payment is received. Each lesson ends with a quiz that must be passed before the practical day. Courses are delivered on-site at your premises.
EFAW and FAW can also be completed as a fully practical course. If you choose this option, you will still receive the e-learning as a theory reference to use during the course and to refer back to afterwards.
