The First Aid at Work (FAW) course takes three days to complete. This includes a mix of theory, practical training, and assessment, all delivered in-person by a qualified instructor. The time is carefully structured to ensure learners can build real confidence in responding to a wide range of first aid situations—through demonstration, discussion, and hands-on practice.
By contrast, some online-only courses that use similar names can be completed in just a few hours. While these might cover basic principles, they typically offer limited depth and no practical element, which is essential when dealing with real-life emergencies.
The time investment in the FAW course reflects the breadth and quality of the content, ensuring that learners are not just informed—but capable.
