Considering becoming a first aider?

Whether you’re an emergency responder, a childminder, a parent or a responsible member of staff, we offer a range of qualifications to suit everyone’s needs.

FIRST AID AT WORK (FAW)

The First Aid at Work (FAW) course is the most comprehensive first aid training for the workplace. It covers various CPR and first aid skills and equips first aiders with the knowledge to apply first aid to specific injuries and illnesses.

The First Aid at Work course is suitable for all industries and enables employers to meet HSE and HSENI requirements. After completing an RLSS UK FAW course, candidates receive a Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification.

RLSS UK’s First Aid at Work training is CIMSPA endorsed, which means it has been quality-assured by CIMSPA. RLSS UK is an active member of the First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum (FAAOF) whose remit is to collaborate on best practice and maintain quality to ensure the integrity and currency of regulated qualifications.

Prerequisites for a First Aid at Work Course
