Emergency First Aid At Work Level 3

This course is by far the most popular and common course that we run.

It is suitable for businesses that have identified by way of a risk assessment that they do not require a fully trained first aider in their work place.

The course must contain 6 contact hours with a qualified instructor run over a minimum of one day. The course meets the UK and European Resuscitation Council guidelines as per the HSE requirements. All our Vocational Qualifications (VTQ) are recognised by the HSE and trade body qualifications. Certificates are valid for three years.

Another option would be to try our blended course. Here you can complete 2 hours online and then the remainder 4 hours in the classroom with an instructor. The end result is the same a fully recognised Emergency First Aid at Work certificate valid for 3 years.
