This qualification is designed to provide essential lifesaving skills. This course is mostly practical and the course is assessed by continual observation of candidate performance. The qualification will be valid for 3 years.

Course Description

Employers have to risk assess their workplace first aid requirements and the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is one of the qualifications for this purpose. If the risk assessment indicates that employees may be faced with life-threatening incidents where they have to manage the casualty for up to 10 minutes, or deal with very minor incidents that will not require medical assistance, then the EFAW is the course that meets this need. 

Candidates can also add the +F option for working in the Forestry Industry.  Please contact us for further information on this as there is an extra charge for this component.
