Our First Aid at Work - Blended Online course is a one day online training and two day in-person instruction format, minimising time away from the workplace while maintaining the same high standard of learning.
It offers a comprehensive, HSE-compliant curriculum tailored for employees in medium to high-risk environments - ranging from construction sites and warehouses to office settings.
This course not only ensures compliance with regulations, but also builds confidence to respond effectively in real-world emergencies. Upon completion, delegates are covered by ‘Good Samaritan’ insurance, empowering them to provide first aid outside of the workplace as well.
The online learning must be completed in the 10 weeks before the face-to-face course.

Who should attend this course?+
This course is designed for people who want to receive our most thorough first aid training. It is most suited to those working in high-risk environments, such as building sites or warehouses.
Delegates must be aged 16 or older to attend this course.
Candidates need a basic command of English (defined as Level 2). While we are often able to provide support to people who do not have English as a first language, our ability to do so is limited by the time available and the number of people who require assistance. We may be able to make special arrangements if requested in advance. Please contact us if you need any guidance.
