About this course

This 6 hour Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is ideal for low risk working environments, and will meet regulatory requirements commonly set by sports governing bodies in the UK as well as the FA.

In May 2016 the HSE and Awarding Organisations announced that computer-based blended training is allowed for all workplace first aid courses. Therefore you now have the option to complete your Emergency First Aid at Work course as a blended course, with 2.5 hours of online training followed by 3.5 hours in the classroom.

Our blended training allows individuals to learn the theory at their own pace, at a time that suits them.

How do I book a blended Emergency First Aid at Work course?

Simply provide us with your group’s availability for the 4-hour practical hands-on session (part 2) and we’ll send links to part 1 online lessons to complete prior to the part 2 practical.

Each student must have access to a smart phone, tablet or computer.

Can you deliver the practical training on site?

Yes, if you are based within a 60 mile radius of Cambridge. Please let us know a little bit about your venue, so we can ensure it meets our strict risk assessment. Generally speaking; size matters. We will work out the rest. If your space is not suitable, we have venues in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Hertfordshire with free parking, which can be used, subject to availability.

Training significant numbers of staff, such as schools or larger enterprises?

Our flexible team can deliver multiple practical sessions in one day, between the hours of 7.30 am and 9.30 pm. Needs must. Each 4-hour practical session is limited to 12 delegates per 1 instructor. All learners must complete the online video-based lessons prior to a practical session with CPR manikins, and training props.

All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to meet the new guidelines set out by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981 and subsequent changes. Visit our which course do I need page for additional information.

How do I access part 1 online?
