Each course meets the requirements outlined in the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. The HSE requires a set amount of contact hours that differ for each course. Learners must attend all sessions to be eligible for assessment, which is done by continuous observation and questioning during the course.
Upon successful completion of each first aid course, you will receive a certificate which is valid for three years.
The number and type of first aiders are determined by the risks in your business. To help, the HSE publish a useful guide in their First at Work INDG214 Guide and Table 2 from this guide is below to help.

All courses offer a practical, hands-on approach to first aid that delivers the skills and confidence to use first aid skills in a real-life situation. For added reassurance, each learner is assessed throughout the course using a range of practical demonstrations, question and answer sessions, quizzes and engaging activities designed to coach and support them.
