Emergency First Aid at Work
6 Hours
The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is a practical and engaging qualification designed to give learners the confidence and skills needed to respond to adult emergency situations in the workplace.
Suitable for low-risk workplaces and those appointed as workplace first aiders, the course covers essential lifesaving topics including CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding, shock and managing unresponsive casualties.
Delivered in a supportive and hands-on way, learners build the knowledge needed to respond calmly and effectively in real-life emergencies whilst helping organisations meet their workplace first aid responsibilities.
This course is ideal for workplaces, community settings, clubs and organisations wanting accessible and practical emergency first aid training.
For those working with both children and adults, this course can also be combined with the full Paediatric First Aid qualification to gain two recognised certificates covering emergency first aid from babies through to adulthood
