What’s the difference between Emergency First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work?

Emergency First Aid at Work covers CPR, choking, bleeding, shock, burns and seizures. Our First Aid at Work course covers all of that plus injuries and illnesses such as head and spinal injuries, chest and eye injuries, heart attack, stroke, asthma and diabetic emergencies. Which you need depends on your workplace’s first aid needs assessment.

Does the emergency first aid qualification meet HSE requirements?

Yes — the Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) meets the Health and Safety Executive’s requirements for first aid at work under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.

Do I need any qualifications to start an emergency first aid course?

No — you don’t need any previous qualifications to start our emergency first aid course. The practical elements are hands-on, and your tutor coaches you through each skill.

Can I do an emergency first aid course online?

You can study the theory of our emergency first aid course online at home, but the practical training and assessment happen in person at our London centre, because first aid is a hands-on skill.

How long does an emergency first aid course take?

What does the emergency first aid assessment involve?

The emergency first aid assessment is a practical assessment, which you complete in person on your Training & Assessment Day.

Is the emergency first aid qualification recognised?

Yes — the Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) is a national qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, awarded by Focus Awards.
