Practical first aid skills for work and everyday life

You will do more than listen to a presentation. Your instructor demonstrates first aid techniques, then helps you practise them with the training equipment.

  • Work through practical situations. Practise responding to an emergency, CPR and using an AED.
  • Ask questions as you learn. Discuss the techniques and how you might use them at work or in everyday situations.
  • Demonstrate your skills. Successful completion includes assessment of your first aid knowledge and practical competence.

Your Manchester first aid questions

Planning your visit to Fairfield

Where in Manchester will I attend the course?

Public Emergency First Aid at Work and blended First Aid at Work courses take place at Fairfield Golf Club, Kings Road, Audenshaw, Manchester, M34 5FA. The venue is east of the city centre; the club identifies M60 junction 23 as nearby. Your joining instructions will confirm the session arrangements.

View Fairfield's venue information →

Is there parking at Fairfield Golf Club?

Fairfield Golf Club advertises free on-site parking in its venue brochure. Follow any parking instructions provided for your course. If you need a particular parking or drop-off arrangement, tell us before booking so we can check it with the venue.

Does the venue have lift access?

The club advertises a lift serving its first-floor 1892 Suite. Contact us before booking if you have access requirements, so we can confirm the room and route used for your training. Please also tell us about any support you may need during practical activities or assessment.

Discuss access and learning requirements →

What should I bring, and are refreshments provided?

Read your joining instructions for the arrival time and anything needed for your booking. Comfortable clothing that allows you to move during practical exercises is sensible. Fairfield has catering facilities, but opening hours and arrangements vary; ask us about refreshments and lunch for your course date rather than assuming they are included.

Choosing and completing your course

Can I join if I want first aid skills for everyday life?

Yes. You can book our one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course for personal learning as well as a workplace role. You do not need to be sent by an employer. The course covers practical skills such as CPR, using an AED, helping someone who is choking and managing bleeding. The qualification is Emergency First Aid at Work; if your main interest is caring for babies or children, compare our paediatric options.

Read about Emergency First Aid at Work →

Which courses can I book at Fairfield, and how much do they cost?

Emergency First Aid at Work takes one practical day and costs £95 + VAT (£114 including VAT) per person. Blended First Aid at Work costs £195 + VAT (£234 including VAT) per person and combines six hours of online learning with two practical days. Choose your course, then select Manchester – Fairfield Golf Club in its schedule.

Should I choose the one-day course or First Aid at Work?

Your employer's first aid needs assessment should guide the choice. EFAW covers core emergency skills; FAW includes a broader range of injuries and illnesses. Consider workplace hazards, staffing and the people needing help. If your role is in childcare, explore paediatric first aid separately rather than choosing solely by course length.

Compare first aid courses →

Do I need to complete anything before the practical days?

For blended First Aid at Work, complete the six-hour online element before attending the two practical days at Fairfield. Keep the completion evidence available and follow your joining instructions. If you have difficulty accessing or completing the online learning, contact us before your practical dates. The Manchester EFAW option is a one-day classroom and practical course.

First Aid at Work course details →

What practical participation and assessment are involved?

You will practise first aid skills, including CPR and using an AED, and demonstrate the required skills and understanding to your assessor. Certification depends on successful completion and assessment. Tell us about physical, learning or communication needs before booking: we can discuss suitable adjustments while explaining the practical competence you must demonstrate independently.

Talk to our course advisers →

What certificate will I receive, and how long does it last?

Successful EFAW and FAW learners receive the relevant FAIB-accredited certificate, valid for three years. HSE strongly recommends annual refresher training during that period to keep skills current. A refresher does not extend the certificate's expiry date, so plan the appropriate renewal training before it expires.

Annual first aid refresher →

Is your EFAW course suitable before SIA training?

Yes. Our standard EFAW course includes the additional practical training on life-threatening bleeding and keeping airways open required before SIA door supervisor or security guard training. Your first aid certificate must have at least 12 months remaining when the SIA licence-linked training starts. Check the EFAW course →

Workplace bookings and renewal

Can you train our team at our Manchester workplace?

Yes. We can bring first aid training to your workplace for one fixed fee, with no minimum group size. Send your course choice, learner numbers, workplace postcode and preferred dates. We will confirm the suitable room, course arrangements and group limit, so you can compare a private course with public places at Fairfield.

How should we plan training for several employees?

Start with the course identified by your first aid needs assessment and decide which colleagues need cover across your shifts or sites. For blended FAW, allow working time for the online learning as well as the two practical days. Tell us your preferred dates and numbers if you want to compare public places with workplace delivery.

Discuss training for your team →

Can I book First Aid at Work requalification in Manchester?

We offer the two-day FAW requalification course publicly at £120 + VAT (£144 including VAT) per person, and at workplaces by quotation. Contact us for the next suitable public date and venue, and tell us when your certificate expires. EFAW renewal follows the one-day EFAW course route.
