About Course

Where an organisation’s risk assessment of First Aid needs identifies that there is a requirement for First Aid at Work practitioners, then this national Award in First Aid at Work satisfies the requirements of the regulatory body for First Aid – the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

All learners will have the skills and knowledge to provide the organisation with Emergency First Aider’s that can provide treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.
