First Aid at Work training provides individuals with skills that can save lives and promote recovery in a casualty. This First Aid at Work course provides in-depth coverage of possible workplace accidents and illnesses and their treatment. The mix of theory and practical based learning helps increase understanding and knowledge of first aid procedures.

This course is delivered over three days or two with learners completing e learning prior to attending. It is suitable for those designated as first aiders in their workplace and who have been identified as needing in-depth training by their employer’s first aid needs assessment. It is also ideal for anyone who would like to learn how to assist casualties outside of the workplace.

The First Aid at Work course is delivered at our training room in Washington, Tyne & Wear. We also deliver this course in-house for businesses who would prefer this option. Please note, as per HSE guidance, the maximum number of delegates who can be accommodated on this training course is 12.
