This is a 1 day Emergency First Aid at Work training course. 
It consists of 6 classroom hours with a mixture of theory, individual and group work, and practical sessions.

HSE Compliant and Level 2 equivalent (note: some providers also refer to this as Level 3 equivalent, it depends on the system being used... they are all equivalent qualifications).

NOTE: this course now includes the Emergency Paediatric First Aid course syllabus. The certificate is valid for both the adult and child qualifications. The Ofsted and Early Years emergency paediatric first aid requirement is 6 hours of training in the skills needed to preserve and prolong life in an emergency situation involving children and babies (this is not a substitute for the 2 day Paediatric First Aid course).

No prior knowledge or experience of first aid is required.

Assessment: all attendees on this course are continuously assessed by the trainer.  There is a multiple choice test and practical assessments during the day. Attendees must reach the required level of knowledge and skills to be awarded the certificate.

The course syllabus is as required under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
On successful completion this gives the learner the right to be an ‘Emergency First Aider in the Work Place’.
