Where an organisation’s risk assessment of First Aid needs identifies that there is a requirement for trained First Aiders, then this national Award in Emergency First Aid at Work satisfies the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). All learners will gain the skills and knowledge to provide their organisation with Emergency First Aiders capable of delivering treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.

A minimum of 6 contact hours in the classroom, consisting of practical and theoretical activities, plus some pre-course activity could be required.

Assessment is ongoing by the instructor, along with a multiple choice question paper, and a three year qualification (FAA Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work) will be issued to those who satisfy the criteria.
