First Aid at Work Course (3 Days)

Our Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Course provides essential knowledge and practical skills for individuals who may be required to provide emergency care in their workplace or community. This course covers the fundamentals of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other life-saving techniques.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK characterises the First Aid at Work (FAW) training as not only encompassing the same principles as the EFAW (Emergency First Aid at Work) but also providing additional skills for managing specific injuries and illnesses.

This comprehensive course surpasses the EFAW in scope, preparing employees not just for various situations but particularly for emergency scenarios.

Our Blended First Aid at Work Course uniquely combines online learning with a 7-hour practical session in a classroom. For those preferring traditional methods, we offer a fully classroom-based First Aid at Work course.
