What is an emergency first aid at work course?
An emergency first aid at work course (EFAW) is a 1 day, HSE-recognised qualification covering the life-saving basics - CPR, choking, severe bleeding and unresponsive casualties. It is valid for 3 years and suits lower-risk workplaces; higher-risk workplaces need the 3 day First Aid at Work course. First Aid For All runs public EFAW courses from £79 per person, and onsite UK-wide.

Frequently asked questions
What does an EFAW course cover?
Emergency First Aid at Work covers the life-saving basics: the role of the first aider and assessing an incident, CPR and defibrillator awareness, choking, severe bleeding, shock, minor injuries, and caring for an unresponsive casualty. It is 6 hours of training delivered in 1 day.
How long is an EFAW certificate valid?
An Emergency First Aid at Work certificate is valid for 3 years. The HSE recommends an annual refresher, and you should requalify before the 3 years are up.
Is EFAW enough for my workplace?
It depends on your first aid needs assessment. Lower-risk workplaces such as offices, shops and small businesses are usually covered by EFAW. Higher-risk workplaces, or those with a larger headcount, normally need the full 3 day qualification - see the 3 Day First Aid at Work (FAW) course.
