Overview.

This course is suitable for schools where a nominated person is required to take charge in the event of illness or accident in the school environment. This training is particularly useful where a person is nominated to provide “Emergency” first aid in a school and to take charge in the event of an illness or accident while awaiting the arrival of a fully qualified first aider (FAW) should they be required. Ideally suited for schoolteachers and ancillary staff.

This one-day (7 contact hour) course will give you the confidence, knowledge, and skills to undertake the duties of an Emergency First Aider (EFAW) outlined in the current Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 as required/identified by the establishments’ First Aid Risk Assessment. In addition, this training covers additional first aid basics and other minor injuries the Emergency First Aider may come across in the school environment. This course of training is more often suited to lower risk workplaces with fewer staff.

Who should attend?
Anyone wishing to become the Workplace First Aider to “EFAW” level as identified/required by the establishments’ risk assessment.

    I did the emergency first aid at work (EFAW) one day course. I did it as I’m a line dance instructor & wanted to feel more confident in dealing with an accident or medical problem during my classes. The course was exactly what I wanted – it was extremely well organised, a great mix of theoretical & practical work, left me with the confidence to manage an emergency or accident, & great value for money. I highly recommend this course.
