What You Will Learn on a First Aid at Work Course
The First Aid at Work course goes far beyond the basics, giving learners a deeper level of knowledge, more hands-on practice and the confidence to deal with a wider range of real-life situations. Over three days, there is more time to build understanding, practise skills repeatedly and work through realistic scenarios, rather than just covering the essentials.
This makes it the ideal choice for higher-risk workplaces or for anyone who wants to feel fully prepared, not just compliant. If you are responsible for others or want a more in-depth, confidence-building approach to first aid, the First Aid at Work course is the stronger option.
- Perform CPR and Basic Life Support (adult, child and baby)
- Use a defibrillator (AED)

- Treat burns, wounds and injuries

- Respond to medical emergencies including:
- Asthma
