First Aid at Work course in Ipswich

Who First Aid at Work is for

Many workplaces have someone trained in First Aid at Work. They can take responsibility for first aid provision across the workplace and support your emergency first aiders when something happens. Your first aid needs assessment tells you the right mix of First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work.

If your first aid needs assessment says EFAW is enough, the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course may suit you better. Not sure? Call us and we'll talk it through.

How you're assessed

Your trainer assesses your practical skills as you go through the course, and you also complete a multiple-choice assessment. There's plenty of hands-on practice on manikins and defibrillator trainers, and you need to attend the whole course.
