Under Health & Safety law, employers must provide a safe and healthy work environment. If your first aid needs assessment identifies the requirement for qualified first aiders, this Level 3 First Aid at Work equips your organisation with highly trained personnel.

This comprehensive three-day course covers a wide range of first aid emergencies. Learners gain the confidence and skills to respond promptly, safely, and effectively in real workplace situations. In addition, the course updates participants on any protocol changes that have arisen since their last training.

Course Duration

The course requires a minimum of 18 hours, ideally delivered over three consecutive days.

However, we offer flexibility to accommodate your schedule. The course can be spread over up to 10 weeks, as long as each training session lasts at least two hours. Blended Course options are also available for this course using our engaging and interactive portal system where the learners complete six hours online E-learning, followed by two days of face to face practical learning instead of three days. The E-Learning can be completed whenever the learner chooses over a six week period before the practical days, offering flexibility and convenience.
