Structure of the Course

The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is delivered through a blended learning format, combining both practical and online study for a flexible and engaging experience. The face-to-face session lasts three hours and focuses on essential hands-on skills, including first aid priorities, managing incidents, caring for an unconscious casualty, performing basic life support, responding to choking, and safely using an AED. This practical component ensures learners gain the confidence and ability to respond effectively in real-life emergencies.

After the classroom session, learners will complete the online portion of the course, which must be finished within three weeks. The online modules expand on key topics such as the causes of unconsciousness, control of bleeding, burns and scalds, fractures, sprains, and strains, as well as shock, anaphylaxis, and first aid regulations. This self-paced learning provides a comprehensive understanding of first aid responsibilities and procedures.

Assessment is carried out through both practical observation during the classroom session and an online theory test. Upon successful completion, learners can download their CPD-accredited and HSE-compliant certificate, valid for three years. The course fee of £110 per person includes all materials, online access, and certification.

Who should do this course?

This course is ideal for anyone entering the aesthetics industry, particularly those planning to progress to OFQUAL Level 5, 6, or 7 qualifications. It is a mandatory requirement for all aesthetic practitioners to hold a valid first aid certificate, ensuring you can safely respond to medical emergencies such as allergic reactions or cardiac incidents. Additionally, when upcoming UK licensing legislation for aesthetic practitioners is introduced, proof of an accredited First Aid qualification will be required to obtain a license. Certification must be renewed every three years to remain valid and compliant.
