About this course
Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is ideal for those working in lower hazard environments (e.g. shops, offices), with smaller teams (i.e. less than 50 people), where HSE guidelines specify staff should be EFAW qualified or where they are supporting colleagues who hold a full First Aid at Work qualification. Learners should be a minimum of 16 years to undertake this qualification.

Thanks Shaun
Great course, very informative
Shaun is a brilliant trainer, great approach to teaching and made it more applicable to real life. First time I feel like I have learnt something knew on a first aid course after completing several over the last decade.
