Certification

Successful delegates will receive a first aid at work certificate. This first aid at work qualification is valid for 3 years and will enable you to be a first aider in your workplace.

In Wales, the St John Ambulance Cymru first aid at work course is the market leader. St. John Ambulance is a recognised voluntary aid society (VAS) in the UK. It sets the standard for first aid training under the Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations of 1981. This is according to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). We don't need outside accreditation from an awarding organisation.

Employers must provide adequate first aid for employees, and the law requires this. Typically, this involves training some staff to become qualified first aiders. The first aid at work course is popular as it covers many emergency scenarios that could cause a health crisis. Also, the HSE suggests annual refresher training to keep skills sharp.

Our first aid at work course is a Level 3 award under the Recognised Qualifications Framework. You need a Level 3 qualification to become a certified first aider. This is because it goes into more detail than other courses that cover fewer scenarios. It covers common workplace first aid incidents and addresses minor injuries. It also teaches delegates how to respond to a range of other first aid scenarios. The course meets UK health and safety first aid regulations. Successful participants become qualified first aiders. Participants learn to respond promptly and safely.

There are key differences between these two first aid courses. First, the workplace emergency first aid training is a level 2 award. It's equal to a GCSE grade A*-C (9-4). The EFAW qualification is less comprehensive than FAW. It covers what to do for only serious medical emergencies. The FAW course meanwhile covers a wide range of first aid scenarios. First aid is not limited to CPR: there are many kinds of first aid procedure you may need to practice. Thus, it's recommended to choose FAW unless you are a small and low-risk organisation.

CPR training and AED training are key first aid procedures. You will also have many chances to have hands-on experience with an AED. CPR and workplace cardiac arrests can be effectively managed with this tool. It can detect a heart's rhythm and deliver an electric shock if needed. In an emergency first aid situation, it can save a life.

A first aid at work certificate is valid for 3 years. Before it expires, you will need to renew your certificate. You can do this by joining our 2-day first aid at work requalification course. This will make your first aid certificate valid for a further three years. The HSE strongly recommends taking an annual refresher to make sure your first aid skills remain fresh. That's why we offer a first aid at work update course for you to join. If your certificate has expired, you will need to take the full course again.

St John Ambulance Cymru teaches the first aid at work course all across Wales to enable your staff to become qualified first aiders.
