First aid training that prepares your team for the real thing

Every workplace needs people who can act calmly and correctly when something goes wrong, and the law expects employers to provide it. Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, every employer must carry out a first aid needs assessment and make sure enough trained first aiders are on site. We deliver accredited first aid training that does more than meet the rules, it gives your team the confidence to step in during a real emergency. From Emergency First Aid at Work to the full First Aid at Work qualification and Paediatric First Aid, our courses are hands on, practical and built around the risks in your particular workplace.

Which first aid course do you need?

The right course depends on your workplace and the outcome of your first aid needs assessment. Emergency First Aid at Work is a one day course suited to lower risk workplaces such as offices and shops. First Aid at Work is a three day qualification for higher risk settings or larger teams. Paediatric First Aid is essential for nurseries, schools and anyone working with young children, and Basic Life Support keeps staff sharp on CPR and defibrillator use. If you are not sure which level fits, we will help you work it out. For more detail, read our guide to the Paediatric First Aid course.

FAQ

A workplace first aid certificate is valid for three years from the date you qualify. The Health and Safety Executive recommends an annual refresher during that period to keep skills current, and you requalify by re-sitting the course before the three years are up.

It depends on the course, but our first aid training covers assessing an emergency, CPR and defibrillator use, treating an unresponsive casualty, choking, bleeding, shock and seizures, and recognising serious conditions such as heart attack and stroke. The full First Aid at Work course also covers fractures, burns and a wider range of injuries and illnesses.

It comes from your first aid needs assessment. Emergency First Aid at Work suits lower risk workplaces like offices and shops, First Aid at Work suits higher risk settings or larger teams, and Paediatric First Aid is for those working with young children. If you are unsure, we will help you choose.
