First Aid at Work (FAW)
Our First Aid at Work (FAW) course meets all HSE requirements for the full statutory qualification. Designed for higher-risk environments, it’s ideal for workplaces where a risk assessment calls for more advanced first aid knowledge.
The course includes three full days of hands-on, trainer-led sessions—delivered by NHS-trained professionals such as doctors, nurses and paramedics. We focus on practical skills, real-world scenarios, and techniques proven to boost confidence and long-term recall.
Training can take place at your workplace (or we can discuss suitable venue), with up to 12 learners per group.
