The Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 course (EFAW-F) is ideal for most businesses whose risk assessment has identified that there is no requirement for a fully trained first aider for their workplace.

This version of the EFAW course includes the additional subjects required by the Forestry Commission. Additional subjects covered include: 

• severe cuts like chainsaws, 
• crush injuries, 
• Hypothermia
• Lyme Disease

In order to comply with the latest HSE and ERC guidelines, we also include Tourniquets and Haemostatic dressings.

In May 2016 the HSE and Awarding Organisations announced that computer-based blended training is now allowed for all workplace first aid courses. You now have the option to complete your Emergency First Aid at Work course as a blended course, with 3 hours of online training followed by 4 hours in the classroom. Our blended training allows you to learn the theory at your pace, one to one with your instructor at a time that suits you.

All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to meet the new guidelines set out by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981 and subsequent 2017 changes. Our Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications and fully meet the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements.

The content of all the courses we offer is independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines. Each course come with a Certified CPD Statement and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.

To renew this course you need to attend another EFAW 6 hour course or blended course where the course is completed online and in the classroom.

Students must be a minimum age is 14 years old.

This qualification can be delivered in our Eastbourne, East Sussex classroom or at your organisation across the UK.
