7		The Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is ideal for businesses with a relatively low number of employees on-site, especially in low-risk environments. This qualification covers all the core competencies outlined by the HSE, making it an acceptable workplace first aid certification. Completing this course qualifies you to be an appointed first aider in the workplace. It meets HSE workplace first aid requirements and aligns with the latest UK Resuscitation Council guidelines. 

Specifically for our bespoke course range, whilst we can offer the standalone EFAW course,  we also offer sector specific courses which integrate factors for certain industries.

The EFAW part of the course, can be upgraded to the regulated qualification if required.

Build Your Own Course

We have devised an option for anyone to develop their own course. 


Allowing you to tailor what you need to know, to the precious time spent on a training course.

All of the modules associated with all of the First Aid Courses - and more are available to piece together to suit your needs.

Once you have an idea of what you need, we will then create the course for you. 

Here's the best bit - if the course modules you have selected align with a Regulated course, then you  will be offered certification for the Regulated Qualification. 


If you are a module or two short then we will contact you to see if you wish to add this to achieve the requirement.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
