First Aid At Work

First Aid At Work Level 3

It is a requirement of the Health and Safety law that employers provide a safe and healthy environment to work in. If your risk assessment highlights the need for qualified first aiders, then this qualification will provide you with suitable, highly trained personnel.

This comprehensive 3-day course covers a wide range of first aid emergencies, enabling all participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way. In addition, this course will include any protocol changes that may have arisen since their last training course.

Assessment and Certifications

Practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment on each day. This qualification lasts for 3 years.
