Electrical Industry First Aid - Course Overview

This course helps electricians develop the awareness and hands-on ability needed to respond to medical emergencies in electrical working environments. It focuses on the immediate actions required in the early stages of an incident, supporting candidates to manage a casualty safely until a qualified first aider or emergency services arrive.

The training reflects the risks commonly encountered in the electrical industry, helping participants make fast, effective decisions in high-risk situations. It also builds confidence in recognising emergencies, providing initial care, and supporting workplace safety during critical moments.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for establishments that already have designated First Aid at Work trained first aiders in place and want to provide additional emergency response training for their electrical teams.

It's an ideal option for all electricians and apprentices who are more likely to be with the casualty at the most important time, and until the arrival of the qualified first aider or the emergency services.

Tom made a subject that could have been boring very interesting and challenging. His delivery & method I found very effective. I feel very confident to carry out First Aid if I had to. Well done Tom

The trainer and resources were brilliant. Brian made everything very clear and I felt comfortable asking about things I was unsure about.

Glenn was a very knowledgeable & competent trainer. He was friendly & explained everything to a level to suit all present. He coped with all the unusual questions & scenarios which we have come across excellently. I would highly recommend him as a trainer for groups of all abilities & feel he should be commended for his hard work.

Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course
The First Response (First Aid) trainer's friendly and efficient style kept everyone's attention throughout the day. His simple but still detailed demonstrations brought the best out in everyone.

I was on that course today, led by Bryan and Rob, and I just wanted to pass on how excellent it was. I practise a holistic therapy called "Bowen" and must hold at the very least the Emergency First Aid certificate in order to maintain my membership with the FHT. I did the initial training 3 years ago, and so had to re-train this year. Both trainings were with First Response First Aid, but I must say that I found today's training really very good. Brian and Rob offer 2 different styles of teaching, but they complement each other very well. Brian's understated but very witty way grabbed my attention for most of the day, and left me with no doubt that I had a very knowledgeable person in front of me. If Rob initially came across as a not so confident speaker, he immediately perked up as soon as it was down to practicing some skills, and his enthusiasm was very communicative. He also knows how to correct people's inaccuracy in their gestures in such a way that doesn't make them feel self-conscious, but rather encourage them to do better. The fact that he is a firefighter undoubtedly adds some perspective to his input. So I guess all I'm saying is thank you for providing such a quality training. I went home feeling rather confident with the thought of having to use those refreshed and updated skills; though I still hope not to have to use them.

I am writing to you following the Blended PFA course I completed today, 1/10/22, in Bedworth with Paul. I would just like to say he is an absolute credit to your team, and I wanted to send my thanks and appreciation for how kind, caring and thoughtful he was throughout the course. I was very anxious on the day about attending due to leaving my 5-month-old son, who I breastfeed, but Paul made me feel so relaxed; he wanted to ensure my son's needs were considered and put first, and he was willing to adapt to my sons routine, and he made me feel so calm about leaving my boy for the first time. He delivered the course with such enthusiasm and animation, and he was just an all-around friendly, genuine guy who I hope realises how valued he is! I will remember more from this course than any previous FA course I've ever attended. Thank you, Paul ???? We need more people like you in this world. Leanne
