Course Content:

This 3-day First Aid at Work course is suitable for people 16 years old and above who may need to provide first aid in the workplace to respond to accidents, injuries or illnesses.

Suitable for office environments as well as high risk environments like construction sites. In office environments, normally one or two first Aiders attend the 3-day First Aid at Work course and more attending the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course.

Day 1 of this course is the same as the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course. Day 2 and 3 covers a variety of injuries and medical conditions.

Learners will develop first aid skills and confidence to help someone

• who is unconscious but breathing or unresponsive and not breathing, or
• who have lost a lot of blood,
• learn to prioritise which to treat first where there may be multiple conditions such as bleeding, not breathing or broken bones, etc.
• choking
• fainting
• suffering from heat exhaustion
• has been poisoned
• burns and scalds
• head injury
• seizure
• heart attack, stroke, angina attack
• severe allergic reaction
• asthma attack
• diabetic emergency
• electrical incidents
• Anaphylaxis
• eye injury
• chest injuries
• COSHH or control of substances hazardous to health.
• In addition, learners will learn where to get help, how to assess the casualty, to avoid dangers on self, monitoring the casualty.

This course is based on UK Resuscitation Guidelines, regulated by Ofqual (The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) and accredited by leading Awarding Bodies such as Qualsafe Awards.

You will be assessed throughout using Q&A, practical exercises and written test.

The teaching method is relaxed and designed to create a conducive learning atmosphere for various learning styles. Learners are encouraged to ask questions- no question is silly- every question helps the learning process.

Each learner must be able to speak, understand and write in English, as per requirement by the Awarding Body. You will also need to be able to perform CPR or recovery position while kneeling on the floor. Other practical exercises do not require you to kneel such as in bandaging and choking.

Although FAW is focused on first aid for adults, first aid for children is mentioned to illustrate the similarities and differences.

Combined First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid course

If you work with children as well as adults, this First Aid at work course can be combined with the 2-day Paediatric First Aid course for the same duration 3 days. In order to cover all topics of both courses, one hour is added each day. Learners on the combined FAW/Paediatric course will receive 2 accredited certificates: one for First Aid at Work, second for Paediatric First Aid course.

E-certificates are issued within 3 working days after you have successfully completed the course.
