HSE Approved First aid at work courses
The first aid at work course is Approved by the HSE. It is the ideal first aid course for those wanting to understand a little more about the medical emergencies and injuries that can occur within the workplace.
Our trainers will guide you through the HSE syllabus, ensuring that you understand and are confident in coping with situations that may arise.
At the successful end of your course you will receive a HSE Approved first aid at work certificate.
Each year, after your initial course you are recommended to attend a basic skills update. On year 3 you can re-qualify as a first aider by attending a first aid at work re-qualification course.
