Workplace First Aid Training North East FAQs
The right course depends on your workplace risk level and the number of staff. Higher-risk environments typically require a First Aid at Work course, while lower-risk workplaces may only need Emergency First Aid at Work. If you are unsure, we can guide you based on your risk assessment.
The First Aid at Work course is a more in-depth, 3-day qualification covering a wider range of scenarios. The Emergency First Aid at Work course is a 1-day course focused on essential life-saving skills for lower-risk environments.
Both First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work certificates are valid for 3 years. After this, learners must complete a requalification course to remain certified.
