First Aid at Work (FAW)

This three-day course provides learners with the highest level of workplace first aid training, fully meeting the legal requirements set out in the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 (and 1982 in Northern Ireland). Participants will gain both the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to respond effectively to a wide range of first aid incidents in the workplace — from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies.
