The course is suitable for the majority of workplaces across the UK, which are considered low-risk. This includes shops, restaurants, gyms, hotels, warehouses, and many more.
The qualification can empower people to deal with a medical emergency in the workplace. It also helps meet the HSE requirements for the number of first aiders required in the workplace.
Most importantly, by completing emergency first aid at work, the newly qualified first aider is equipped with the skills to deal with an unconscious, non-breathing, choking, and bleeding casualty. As well as having knowledge of epilepsy, minor injuries, and the full treatment protocol for burns.
The minimum age for this nationally recognised course is 16. Please note that younger learners can still complete a non-regulated equivalent if supervised by an adult.
