Frequently Asked Questions
Which First Aid course is right for me or my team?
The right course depends on your workplace, the level of risk, and the role you need someone to perform. Employers should carry out a First Aid Needs Assessment to determine the appropriate level of first aid provision for their organisation.
For lower-risk workplaces, some organisations may appoint an Appointed Person to manage first aid arrangements and contact emergency services when needed. In these situations, our Basic First Aid Awareness and Basic Life Support course can help individuals develop confidence in responding to common emergencies.
For those expected to provide first aid in the workplace, Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a one-day course covering essential emergency first aid skills and is often suitable for lower-risk environments.
First Aid at Work (FAW) is a more comprehensive three-day qualification designed for designated workplace first aiders, particularly in larger organisations or higher-risk settings.
If you work with babies and children, Emergency Paediatric First Aid (one-day course) and Paediatric First Aid (two-day course) courses provide training aligned with the requirements of childcare and early years settings.
If you are unsure which course is most appropriate, our team can help you review your requirements and identify the most suitable option for your organisation.
First Aid training is suitable for employees, volunteers, parents, carers and anyone who wants to develop the confidence and skills to respond in an emergency. Some courses are specifically designed for workplace first aiders or those working with children.
No, our First Aid courses are suitable for complete beginners as well as those refreshing their skills. Each session provides clear, hands-on training with plenty of support from our experienced tutors.
Yes. We can deliver most of our First Aid training at your workplace, school or setting, helping make training more convenient and relevant to your environment. To ensure learners can safely practise skills such as CPR and the recovery position, a suitable training space with sufficient room for practical activities will be required.
Most accredited First Aid qualifications are valid for three years, after which learners will need to complete a requalification course. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) strongly recommends annual refresher training to help first aiders maintain confidence and keep their skills up to date. Awareness-level courses and non-accredited training provided by SEK include a certificate of attendance, which is valid for one year unless stated otherwise.
First Aid is about more than gaining a qualification. It is about having the confidence and practical skills to respond effectively when someone needs help. Whether you are meeting workplace requirements, supporting children and young people, or simply wanting to be prepared for everyday emergencies, our courses focus on real-world situations and practical application.
Delivered by experienced trainers, our First Aid courses combine hands-on learning with clear, accessible guidance. Learners leave with recognised qualifications where applicable, along with the knowledge and confidence to put their skills into practice when it matters most.
