About this course

One day that makes you the person who can act in the first minutes. Emergency First Aid at Work is the legal-minimum first aid qualification for lower-risk workplaces, taught hands-on: CPR on the floor with a manikin, the defibrillator in your hands, real bandaging. The certificate lasts three years, every workplace needs holders, and the SIA requires it for door supervisor licensing, which is why it is built into our security courses and stands as step three of the Security Specialist track.

Good to know
EFAW or the full First Aid at Work?

EFAW is one day and suits lower-risk workplaces. Higher-risk workplaces, or anyone who wants the full qualification, take the 3-day First Aid at Work course.

When does it renew?

The certificate is valid three years. Book the renewal before expiry so cover never lapses; if it has already expired, the same one-day course renews it.

Can we book as a team?

Yes: multi-seat booking with business invoice from two seats, and our trainers can come to your site for a whole team.
