First aid at work courses Standard Course (4 days) & Appointed Persons Course (1 day)
Employers need to provide first aid care on their premises for staff and have a duty of care towards all visitors and users of their facilities. This statutory course complies with the current Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Employers have a legal obligation to make First Aid provision for their employees.

We would recommend that organisations which deal with vulnerable adults, children or work in residential settings have at least one member of staff on duty who hold the Standard First Aid at Work certificate.

First aid at work course Appointed Person Course
If a first aider is not legally required, an employer must still appoint a person to take charge of first aid provision, and this course provides that person with the necessary knowledge to do so. This course is also ideal for lone workers, employees of smaller low risk organisations and any individual who wants a solid grounding in basic first aid.
This is one of our most popular and fun first aid courses and provides a good basic insight into first aid procedures and skills. Hands-on practical exercises help delegates learn basic life support skills and improves their chances of coping in an emergency.
