Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Course

Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF)

Our Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a nationally recognised qualification designed for workplaces that require trained emergency first aiders.

Where an employer’s first aid needs assessment identifies a requirement for an Emergency First Aider, this qualification meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

This practical one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course provides learners with the essential skills and confidence to deal with a range of workplace first aid emergencies safely, promptly and effectively until professional medical help arrives.
