About the Emergency First Aid at Work Courses:
The Emergency First Aid at Work Courses syllabus is set by the HSE. If you require additions to the syllabus these can be added on to the delivery time. For example, if you have a colleague who is diabetic it would be worthwhile adding this to the course so that the first aiders know how to deal with a diabetic emergency.
This course is the 1 day Level 3 Award In Emergency First Aid at Work course (RQF) and complies with First Aid at Work Regs 1981 and HSE requirements. Accredited by Qualsafe Awards who are regulated by OFQUAL. The EFAW is the required qualification for all close protection, door supervisors and security guards who require an SIA licence (Security Industry Authority)
Accredited by Qualsafe Awards or QNUK who are both Ofqual regulated.
