What This Course Covers

Health and safety law requires employers to provide a safe working environment for their staff. Where a workplace risk assessment identifies the need for a higher level of first aid provision, the three-day First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification delivers comprehensive, in-depth training to support a well-prepared and highly competent workforce.

This extensive three-day first aid course covers a wide range of emergency scenarios and workplace incidents, equipping participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to respond quickly, safely, and effectively.

Successful completion of the course results in a First Aid at Work qualification, which exceeds the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Learners are assessed throughout the course using practical, scenario-based activities, alongside a multiple-choice assessment on the third day. The assessment process is supportive, and additional time is given to revisit any techniques or topics where further confidence is needed. There are plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions throughout the training.

Qualification

Your First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate is valid for three years from the date you complete the course. To renew your qualification, you must attend a further 18-hour First Aid at Work training course.

The FAW qualification is a nationally recognised and accredited award. At First Aid Exeter, we exceed the minimum standards required by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for first aid training providers.
To learn more about how we meet and surpass these standards, please click here.
For further information on the HSE’s guidance for selecting a first aid training provider, please click here.

In 2013, the HSE deregulated the first aid training industry, meaning externally regulated certification is no longer required. However, some specialist or high-risk workplaces may still require externally regulated qualifications. If this applies to your organisation, please let us know before booking and we will be happy to advise you.
