What is the course about?

What happens if there is an accident or someone complains of chest pains….do you know how to help them?

It could happen at any time – at work, on the street or even at home. Emergency First Aid at Work will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to assist someone until the emergency services arrive. This is more than just a training course; you may help in saving someone's life.

This course qualifies you to give Emergency First Aid (to adults) at home or in the workplace, where there is a low risk or less than 100 employees. It is also ideal for self-employed Complementary Therapists or Exercise Professionals. The qualification is awarded by Qualsafe, a leading awarding body in Health & Safety training and is valid for 3 years. The HSE (Health & Safety Executive) recommends that you have refresher training every year, however this is not compulsory.
