Course Overview
Our 3 day ITC Level 3 award in First Aid at Work is the highest workplace first aid qualification in the UK. You probably need some first aiders with this qualification if you have a high risk workplace or large workforce.
Workplace First Aid

Due Diligence
The HSE stopped ‘approving’ first aid training providers in 2013. Since then, they’ve produced advice for employers to ensure that trainers are up to date and appropriately qualified. One of the easiest ways of ensuring this is to use a provider of regulated qualifications, which is why we do just that. All of our first aid qualifications are awarded by ITC First, a specialist first aid awarding organisation. The exams regulator for England (OFQUAL) regulates this qualification.
