About the course
The First Aid at Work course is designed to meet the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) regulations 1981 in First Aid. This course covers the Emergency First Aid at Work syllabus. However, the learner will be equipped to apply first aid to a wider range of specific injuries and illnesses.
Definitely the most fun, interactive and informative First Aid Course I have done! Adrian is entertaining but effective at getting the learning done and keeping everyone engaged. Thank you Adrian!
Who is this course suitable for?
This FAW course is suitable for those who work in high-risk or large working environments and for those who want to learn first aid in depth.
How does this course differ from the Emergency First Aid at Work training?
The main difference between emergency first aid at work (EFAW) and first aid at work (FAW) is the range of injuries and illnesses that the first aider can treat.
