First Aid Training Courses.
All organisations must ensure by law that they have a sufficient number of employees who possess a first-aid qualification to fulfil their first-aid needs at all times. Employers must ensure that their provision is ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. It is the employer’s responsibility to decide what the requirements of the organisation are by assessing any specific work hazards and ensuring that sufficient equipment, facilities and personnel are available to deal with the consequences of these hazards.
As part of each assessment, the HSE recommends organisations should consider things such as the nature of the work and the subsequent hazards and risks, the size of the organisation, work patterns and accident histories.

UK Training offers the following First Aid qualifications:
Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day).

Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (3 days).
This qualification is aimed at learners who wish to become first-aiders in the workplace. This qualification meets the requirements for training first-aiders in those organisations that have identified that staff need to be trained to this level within their first-aid needs assessment.
Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work Requalification (2 days).
Because the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (QCF) is only valid for a three year period, all delegates will be required to complete a requalification course. This includes both the theory and practical assessments which are the same as the ones conducted on the 3 Day First Aid at Work course.

This qualification is aimed at individuals wishing to become a paediatric first-aider in the workplace with a responsibility for the welfare of infants and children.

First Aid for Schools
Combining the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) and the Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) into 3 extended days of classroom learning, this specially designed course provides Learners with all of the skills and knowledge needed to provide both adult and paediatric first aid, whilst minimising the number of training days required to achieve both qualifications.
This is a very basic introduction to First Aid and Defibrillation aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 11, but it can suit children of any age. The course is kept at a basic level with no use of confusing terminologies focused on the child’s ability, making it educational and practical, and instilling the importance of helping someone who is poorly or injured.
