This is a 1-day (6 hour) Ofqual regulated course, consisting of both practical and theoretical learning.

A three-year Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (Level 6 in Scotland) certificate will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessors are required. In addition, the HSE strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours.
