Blended First Aid At Work (FAW) Course

Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF)

Our Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work is a nationally recognised qualification designed for workplaces that require fully trained first aiders.

This blended learning course combines online e-learning with practical classroom-based training, providing a flexible and convenient route to achieving the full First Aid at Work qualification. Where an employer’s first aid needs assessment identifies a requirement for a First Aider, this qualification meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Learners complete the theory elements through online e-learning before attending two days of practical classroom training. This approach reduces time away from the workplace while ensuring learners gain the knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to respond effectively to workplace first aid emergencies.

This Blended First Aid at Work course is ideal for:

  • Designated workplace first aiders
  • Employees working in higher-risk environments
