First Aid at Work

Our comprehensive three-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course is designed for individuals who need to be fully prepared to manage a wide range of workplace emergencies, particularly in higher-risk environments. This in-person training covers both life-saving emergency techniques and the management of injuries and illnesses.

Ideal for industries such as construction, manufacturing, engineering, and other settings where the risk of accidents and injuries is higher, this course ensures your team is trained to respond confidently and effectively when it matters most.

Upon successful completion, attendees gain a Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work, accredited by First Aid Awards (FAA) and valid for three years.

This training can be delivered for groups of up to 12 people, either at your workplace or our location in Wiltshire.

In line with the latest FAW guidance, we can deliver training through an FAW-qualified instructor who is fully trained in catastrophic bleed control techniques.
