Assessing an incident and managing casualties
-
CPR and use of an AED (defibrillator)

Responding to choking
-
Managing seizures

Wounds and bleeding

Minor injuries

What you will learn
Is this the right course for me?
No previous first aid experience is required. The right level of workplace training depends on your employer’s first aid needs assessment; a lower-risk label alone does not establish what cover is needed.
Renewal involves completing the EFAW course again. HSE strongly recommends annual refresher training during the certificate period.
Discuss any accessibility, learning or language support needs with Hannah before booking.
Not sure which course you need?
If your workplace has higher first aid requirements or you need more comprehensive training, our 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course may be more suitable.
