Emergency First Aid at Work

course/Award information

QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF)
This regulated and nationally recognised qualification is designed for individuals with a specific responsibility to provide first aid in emergency situations at work. It is particularly suited to lower-risk environments where a risk assessment has identified minimal hazards—such as offices, shops, and libraries.

It’s also ideal for those who need to provide basic first aid in voluntary or community settings.

Course Overview:
This 1-day course equips learners with the essential skills and knowledge to respond effectively to a range of emergency scenarios, including:

  • Managing an unresponsive casualty
  • CPR
  • Choking
  • Shock
  • Wounds and bleeding
  • Minor injuries

By the end of the course, participants will be confident in delivering emergency first aid in both workplace and community settings.
