    Other Information

    Do my employees need this course?

    Some companies only require emergency training following a first aid risk assessment – in such cases, our 1-day emergency first aid at work course is sufficient and first aiders only need to receive the EFAW qualification. Depending on the outcome of the assessment, other businesses may need more extensive training for the first aid at work (FAW) qualification.

    SIA Badge holders should now hold an Emergency First Aid at Work Qualification. This course is accepted by SIA.

    EFAW exams and assessment

    Candidates will be assessed by their trainer throughout the data to ensure that all learning outcomes are achieved. Successful learners will receive an FAIB-accredited emergency first aid at work qualification.

    Other relevant information

    Candidates must be physically able to carry out the procedures required to meet HSE assessment criteria.

    This course complies with Health and Safety (first aid) Regulations 1981 and updates learners of any change in practice and guidelines.

    Very positive feedback from all staff who were on the emergency first aid training, great trainers and they made the topic interesting and easy to understand.

    Frequently Asked EFAW Questions

    What does efaw qualification mean?

    EFAW stands for Emergency First Aid at Work.

    How much time is required to complete a efaw first aid course?

    One day (6 hours) is required to complete the EFAW first aid course.

    How long does an efaw certificate last?

    The EFAW certificate lasts 3 years before you need to re-take it.

    What does the Emergency First Aid at Work Course (EFAW) consist of?

    The most frequent type of First Aid Training is the Emergency First Aid at Work Course (EFAW). It takes 1 day and teaches you how to provide the proper treatment in emergency circumstances. You'll learn about the fundamentals of first aid, as well as advanced techniques to help you save lives. You'll apply what you've learned in a hands-on exercise where you'll use dummies and other equipment. Topics include how to stop bleeding, treat burns, and give CPR.

    How is the EFAW course assessed?

    The Emergency First Aid at Work Training Course is assessed during the session and does not have an end-of-course test. You pass on the same day as long as you follow what is being taught and are able to demonstrate what you've learnt.

    Is e-learning possible?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible because government regulations state that First Aid Training must be provided in person.

    Are there age requirements to sit the efaw course?

    You must be at least 16 years old to obtain an EFAW Certificate. You may begin training as early as 14 years old, but you won't receive a certificate until you're 16.
