Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work
Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work
The Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work is a nationally recognised qualification which meets the workplace requirements for first aid. It is taught over three days in a practical and dynamic way. On successful completion of the course, learners receive certification which is valid for a three year period.
“Need a first aider at work? This 3 day course is for you”
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training.
Course Overview
During this blended course, learners will develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with a range of first aid situations, including: assessing an incident, managing an unresponsive casualty, CPR, heart attacks, choking, head and spinal injuries, fractures, anaphylaxis and more.

We are keeping these courses to a maximum of 6 people.
