FAA Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF)

Prepare your workplace first aiders to respond to a wider range of injuries and sudden illnesses. Our three-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course gives learners time to build practical skills, work through realistic scenarios and develop confidence in their role.

The programme combines the emergency first aid foundations with broader casualty assessment and injury management. Supportive trainer feedback helps learners connect what they practise in the classroom with situations they may encounter at work.

Who This Course Is For

Nominated workplace first aiders where an organisation's first aid needs assessment identifies the need for FAW training. Suitable for a wide range of sectors, including settings with more varied hazards or a need for broader first aid cover, as well as voluntary and community organisations.
