?? The course is designed to be practical, accessible, and suitable for complete beginners.
You’ll be assessed continuously throughout the course by your trainer. After each demonstration, you’ll have the chance to practise the skill yourself - from CPR to dealing with bleeding or choking. This hands-on approach means you’re building confidence as you go. At the end of the day, you’ll sit a short multiple-choice quiz to confirm your understanding of the key topics covered.
After completing the course, you’ll receive an Emergency First Aid at Work certificate.
This first aid certification meets the requirements set out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for workplace first aiders and is fully recognised for compliance purposes.
It’s valid for 3 years from the date of completion, in line with HSE requirements. You’ll need to retake the course to remain certified.
The Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work typically takes around 4–6 hours to complete in class. Some training providers may include a short distance learning component to be completed at home before the classroom session.

The EFAW course cannot be completed fully online. To meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements, most of the training — including all practical assessments - must be delivered in person.
However, we offer a blended option, where you complete part of the theory online before attending a face-to-face session. This gives you more flexibility while still ensuring you meet the legal and practical standards for workplace first aiders.
The cost of the Emergency First Aid at Work ranges from £79.99 to £139.99, depending on your location. We aim to keep pricing competitive across all our UK-wide venues, with discounts available for group bookings.
