This course is suitable for people aged 16+ who might need to provide first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work.

It is ideal for organisations whose first aid needs assessment has identified a requirement for someone to hold a current emergency first aid at work qualification.

Learners will develop the skills and confidence to help someone who is:

• unresponsive and not breathing, including how to use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)

• suffering from shock
• burnt.

The course also includes information on:

• assessing a casualty
• monitoring a casualty
• where to get help
• electrical incidents
• accident recording and reporting
• the control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH).

Delivered in the classroom, this course offers a practical, hands-on approach that delivers the skills and confidence to use first aid skills in a real life situation. For added reassurance, each learner is assessed throughout the course using a range of practical demonstrations, question and answer sessions, quizzes and engaging activities designed to coach and support them.

On successful completion of this course, you will receive an emergency first aid at work certificate which is valid for three years.  This course meets the requirements specified by the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
