Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF)

Where an organisation’s risk assessment of First Aid needs identifies that there is a requirement for Emergency First Aid at Work practitioners, then this national Award in Emergency First Aid at Work satisfies the requirements of the regulatory body for First Aid – the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

​

All learners will have the skills and knowledge to provide the organisation with Emergency First Aider’s that can provide treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The qualification is available to learners aged 14 or over but a learner is unable to act as an Emergency First Aider in the workplace until they reach the age of 16.


Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands and you must be able to demonstrate your skills as in a real-life situation. An example of this would be to demonstrate CPR on a manikin at floor level.


It is recommended that you hold a minimum of Level 1 in literacy or equivalent to undertake this qualification.

CERTIFICATION

Practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor, and a three year qualification will be issued to those who satisfy the criteria. In addition the HSE strongly recommend that all students undergo an annual refresher programme of three hours.

 

You will need to complete the full course again to requalify for a further three years. You should attend this course before the expiry of your current qualification and must be aware that if your qualification expires you are no longer considered competent to act as an Emergency First Aider in the workplace. 

​

NUMBERS

A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.

​

COST

£ 90.00 per learner.
