First Aid at Work course

Wiltshire First Aid Training provides a First Aid at Work course, which can be delivered as blended, (one day online study), and has been combined to include Paediatric First Aid.

​

This three-day course meets the standards required to comply with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. After successful completion the candidate will be able to perform the role of a first aider in the workplace. This course also includes the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).

In February 2024 the HSE updated their guidelines on Mental Health Awareness in the workplace, there is now an increased focus on the employer’s responsibility to account for the mental health of their employees within their first aid needs assessment.

How is the course assessed?

The trainer will assess learners throughout the course and prepare them for a more formal assessment consisting of the practical elements and a multiple-choice test paper.

​

We appreciate some people may not have been in a learning environment for a number of years and may become anxious with assessments but there is nothing to worry about. The trainer will put everyone at ease and allow ample opportunity to practise. There is always a great sense of achievement once it is completed.
