half day (4 hours) Basic Emergency First Aid Training - Course Overview
This course is designed for workplaces that already have qualified first aiders in place and want to ensure other staff members can respond calmly and effectively during a medical emergency. It equips learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to manage an incident safely until a qualified first aider or the emergency services arrive.
Through a mixture of guided activities and hands-on practice, learners will develop the ability to assess a situation, provide immediate care, and support a casualty with confidence. The training covers a range of common workplace emergencies, helping participants recognise symptoms, take appropriate action, and reduce further risk to themselves and others.
On successful completion, learners will be better prepared to act quickly in emergency situations, support existing first aid provision within the organisation, and contribute to a safer working environment.
Learners may also choose to progress to the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course.
