QA Level 3 First Aid at Work Course (QCF)

For your information: This course is a legal requirement for many UK businesses.

Who is it for?
For high risk companies in need of a First Aider.
This course is for anyone interested in becoming a First Aider in the work place, or if your First Aid Assessment requires a member of your staff to be trained to this level. This 3 day course is more intensive than the 1 day Emergency First Aid course, so in turn offers greater underpinning knowledge and practical ability for the student.
