Emergency First Aid at Work
Armagh City Hotel | £80
The Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is awarded by RLSS UK and is suitable for a wide range of workplace and community settings. For Northern Ireland, first aid provision should be considered in line with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982, as amended, and HSENI guidance.
EFAW may be suitable where a workplace first aid needs assessment identifies the need for an emergency first aider. Employers should ensure their first aid provision is appropriate for their setting, workforce and activities.
The RLSS UK Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is designed to provide candidates with the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond quickly and effectively to a first aid emergency in the workplace - potentially saving a life before emergency services arrive. The course is relevant across a wide range of workplaces and community settings, not just the leisure or aquatics sector.

All RLSS UK Awards and Qualifications must be completed within the required timeframe for the course. Learners should ensure they allow enough time to complete the online learning before attending practical training.
