First Aid at Work
3 Day Course
The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require that all employers have appropriately trained personnel that are able to provide immediate attention to those who are injured or taken ill at work. This applies to all companies.
The First Aid at Work (3 day) course is an accredited course providing certified training valid for three years. It's suitable for those working in high-risk environments and for organisations who have identified a requirement for additional first aid training beyond the topics covered on an Emergency First Aid at Work course, such as workplaces responsible for over 100 people.
We are able to deliver this course in-house at your place of work either as 3 full days of practical learning or as a blended learning programme consisting of 12 hours of practical, face-to-face learning alongside a 6 hour online learning module.
We also offer the blended learning programme on our open courses.
