Emergency First Aid At Work (EFAW)
When something goes wrong, the first few minutes matter most. This course gives your people the confidence and practical ability to step forward and act.
Course Overview
The Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, regulated through Qualsafe Awards, is designed to equip learners with the essential knowledge and skills needed to provide immediate care in a workplace emergency.
