First Aid at Work (3 days / 18 hours)

Description

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

The 3 day first aid at work course covers a wide range of injuries and illnesses. This in-depth, practical course meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive for first aid at work in most settings.

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 regulators for England and Wales (OFQUAL and Qualifications Wales) regulate this qualification.
