The First Aid at Work course provides comprehensive training for those taking on the role of workplace first aider. Delivered over three days, it equips learners with the practical skills, knowledge and confidence needed to respond to a wide range of emergencies and support workplace safety.

Throughout the training, learners are guided through practical demonstrations, realistic scenarios, and interactive group discussions. The course covers a broad range of topics including CPR, the safe use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), managing an unconscious casualty, treating wounds and bleeding, dealing with shock, and responding to fractures, burns, and other injuries. Learners will also gain the knowledge to recognise and assist with common medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, and allergic reactions.

This course is essential for those working in higher-risk environments such as construction, manufacturing, transport, and large offices. It is equally relevant for schools, charities, retail, hospitality, and other sectors where staff may encounter health emergencies. Whether you work with the public or within a team, having trained first aiders within an organisation helps create safer workplaces, supports staff wellbeing and assists organisations in meeting their workplace first aid responsibilities.

Beyond regulatory compliance, first aid training fosters a culture of care and responsibility. Staff who are equipped to respond in an emergency are a valuable asset, providing reassurance to colleagues and customers alike. The course also promotes calm decision-making and improved communication during stressful events — qualities that are critical when time is of the essence.

Whether you are a nominated workplace first aider or looking to develop advanced first aid skills, this course provides a recognised qualification alongside the confidence and capability to respond when it matters most. Successful learners will receive a Level 3 First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years.
