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 stands for Emergency First Aid at Work.
One day (6 hours) is required to complete the EFAW first aid course.
The EFAW certificate is valid for 3 years before you need to re-take it.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, this is not possible because government regulations state that First Aid Training must be provided in person.
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.
