This option constitutes part 2 of the complete 6-hour Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification. To finalise this part 2 course, it's essential to have completed the online 3-hour part 1 beforehand, and then proceed to book and complete this part 2. If not already done, you will need to locate your nearest instructor via www.procourses.co.uk. Please be aware that this may involve an additional fee payable directly to the instructor (purchasing the online part 1 and then paying for the classroom part 2).
Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 (VTQ) blended part 2 is available for those who have already finished the online part. The ProTrainings Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 qualification (EFAW) is suitable for most businesses where the risk assessment identifies low risk in their workplace. This training certificate is recognised by the SIA for individuals seeking employment in the door supervision and security guard sector. All courses adhere to the guidelines established by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the criteria of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981, including subsequent 2017 changes. ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.
Since May 2016, the HSE and Awarding Organisations have permitted computer-based blended training for all workplace first aid courses. You now have the option to complete your Emergency First Aid at Work course as a blended course, comprising 3 hours of online training followed by 3 hours in the classroom. Our blended training allows you to learn theory at your own pace, with one-to-one guidance from your instructor at a time convenient for you. This blended EFAW course fulfills all HSE and Awarding Organisations' requirements and is available as a ProTrainings or Regulated Qualification.
If you prefer the traditional 6-hour Emergency First Aid at Work course, we also offer that option. Simply contact us for more information. Our approach to training combines modern techniques with years of experience providing online, blended, and classroom courses. Clear, concise, and engaging, when you choose ProTrainings, you maintain the quality of your training while reducing costs.
All our first aid courses fully comply with the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021, meeting HSE requirements. The HSE strongly recommends that all first aiders undergo an annual first aid refresher course, and our online course satisfies this requirement. Note that learners undertaking a ProTrainings Training Course can opt for a regulated qualification.
Please be advised that the minimum age requirement for the classroom course is 14.
