Blended First Aid at Work (2025)

!! This Course is for Internal staff for Busy Bees ONLY!! - please DO NOT book if you are NOT a member of Busy Bees staff - for any enquiries please contact Ann Poolton @ ann.poolton@busybees.com

A First Aid at Work (FAW) training course is described by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as meeting the same requirements as EFAW training but it ‘also equips the first aider to apply first aid to a range of specific injuries and illnesses’. 

This course is more extensive than the EFAW training course and is designed to not only qualify trained employees to respond to a range of situations, but also those which are classed as emergencies.

This Blended First Aid at Work Course is designed to be completed partially online using e-resources and partially (7 hours only) in a classroom setting. We also offer a First Aid at Work course that provides the complete classroom approach.
