First Aid at Work Training Courses.

We are pleased to offer the HABC Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF).

Who is this qualification for?

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. 

How long will it take?

To complete this qualification learners should expect to undertake 22 hours of learning, typically over three days, with a minimum contact time of 18 hours. 

Topics covered

The qualification covers knowledge such as the roles and responsibilities of the first aider, how to assess an incident and recognising signs and symptoms of injury and illness. The qualification also covers first aid skills in CPR and use of an AED and assisting a casualty who is suffering from major injury and illness such as chest injuries, spinal injuries and anaphylaxis.

Assessment method

This qualification is assessed by a practical demonstration and written/oral questioning.

All successful students will be issued with a First Aid at Work Certificate, along with a wallet-sized plastic card detailing their qualification which is valid for a period of 3 years.

This qualification is suitable for learners over the age of 16.

Because the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) 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.

The awarding bodies regulations state that all delegates undertaking this course must be in possession of their First Aid at Work qualification. It must not have expired beyond 28 days of the expiry date as shown on their First Aid at Work Certificate. If the certificate has expired beyond the 28 day period then it will be necessary for the delegate to attend a full 3-day First Aid at Work course.

All successful students will be issued with a new First Aid at Work Certificate which lasts for a period of 3 years, along with a wallet-sized plastic card detailing their qualifications.

Open courses are inclusive of tuition, certification and a course handbook. Free follow up support will also be available from your tutor. You must bring your existing certificate to the course with you.
