One of our trainers will deliver this course to your premises on a date of your choice. The timing could also be arranged to suit your requirements.

 

Assessment and Certification

 

​You will be continually assessed throughout the course by one of our qualified trainers.

To complete this course, you must have a valid Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work certificate.

 

​Pre-requisites

 

​The practical elements of this course are essential, as they provide you with vital hands-on experience. You must be physically able to take part in the practical parts of the course.

 

The HSE requires you to attend the full duration of the course, and candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2) to be eligible for evaluation.

 

​​On-site training room requirements

 

​It is recommended that the room size should be approximately 20 x 30 feet for a full 12-person course. The room should be large enough to seat all candidates comfortably in a semicircle formation. The floor space in the centre should be clean and uncluttered, as this will be used for the practical parts of the course. The trainer will also require a flip chart if one is available.
