Workplace First Aid Training

This Workplace First Aid course is essential for everyone in every workplace and every home; you never know when you may need to use first aid skills and have the confidence to act in a potentially life-threatening situation.

Using high quality videos alongside written guidance, this online course will provide you with all the information needed to be able to recognize emergency situations, treat conditions and reactions and ensure that you can take appropriate action at the time of an incident.

Who should take this course?

This course is suitable for people and businesses who wish to learn new first aid skills or refresh their existing first aid skills. No previous qualifications are needed to take this course as all the basic first aid techniques are covered throughout the training.

This course is best suited to low hazard workplaces (such as offices, shops, and restaurants) where a qualified first aider is not required according to the first aid needs assessment. It is considered best practice for all employees to be provided with first aid knowledge, particularly those who are in charge of first aid arrangements, and this course satisfies that requirement.
