This is a one-day course that covers the practical and knowledge needed to be competent in Emergency first aid at work. It is an accredited course and industry recognised. The day will be split into teaching and assessment with an end point assessment completed via a written multiple-choice exam. Please make sure you wear practical and comfortable clothing as you will be working at floor level for part of the lesson.

There are no formal entry requirements; however, you will need to pass an assessment before the course starts. We will need to assure ourselves that learners, are physically capable of completing the practical assessment. It is a governing body requirement that you must be able to kneel to perform CPR and this is covered with the disability act.
