First Aid at Work (FAW)

This course covers the full syllabus, as outlined by the First Aid Approved Code of Practice 2009.

The course will teach the student how to deal with:

• Resuscitation
• Bleeding
• Care of the unconscious casualty
• Shock
• Hypoxia
• Diabetic and epileptic emergencies
• Burns
• Fractures
• Poisoning
• Infection control
• Simple record keeping.

A certificate and wallet credit card will be awarded on a successful assessment on completion of the course. The qualification is valid for 3 years. First Aiders with a valid qualification may be designated a First Aider in the workplace.

The duties of a First Aider can be physically demanding. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that delegates are free from any condition which would affect their capability and that they have the aptitude to cope with an intensive course of study.

We welcome candidates with disabilities for training, but it remains their employer’s responsibility to ensure that they are appropriately supported in their workplace
