Blended Emergency First Aid At Work Course Chester

We ran a regular programme of public first aid courses in Chester between September 2023 and March 2024, covering Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work requalification and Paediatric First Aid, and we continue to deliver onsite training across Chester and West Cheshire. In the last two years that has included a visitor attraction, an agricultural business, a manufacturing firm and a language school, with Emergency First Aid at Work and Outdoor and Forest School First Aid the most requested courses.

Our trainer for the area is based in Cheshire West, a short drive from the city, so an onsite course for your team can be arranged at your premises on a date of your choosing. There is no public Chester date on sale at the moment: the nearest public dates are shown below, and registering your interest tells us where the demand is and puts you first in line when a Chester date is added.

The HSE compliant blended 1 day Emergency First Aid at Work / EFAW training course must be a minimum of 6 hours training time to learn first aid with a mixture of theory online, individual and group work, and practical sessions.

3 hours of this blended online first aid course is completed at your own pace before the classroom time. The remaining 3 hours is completed in a classroom on a specific date.

Important: 100% online first aid courses are not valid in the UK, you must still do the practical elements of a recognised first aid course in a classroom.
