Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) - Level 3

“Essential Training for Workplace Safety and Responsiveness”

The highly sought-after Emergency First Aid at Work (VTQ) qualification - this is a 6 hour face-to-face course, delivered onsite on a day and time that suits you.

This training is designed for individuals responsible for workplace first-aid or those seeking basic first-aid knowledge. It is suitable for low-risk work environments like small offices, shops, or businesses with few employees. EFAW equips participants with essential skills to handle workplace emergencies such as accidents, injuries, and sudden illnesses, including CPR, bleeding management, burns treatment, and recognizing various medical conditions.

Employers must assess their workplace's first-aid requirements and provide appropriate training, considering that higher-risk environments may necessitate a more comprehensive First Aid at Work (FAW) course.
