First Aid at Work - Blended 2 days practical with at home eLearning
A unique First Aid at Work course using blended learning. This course meets the full HSE requirements and enables staff to complete two practical trainer-led days with an at-home self-study e-learning programme. The 6 hours of e-learning must be completed before the final practical day so all areas of content can be assessed in person by our qualified trainers and assessors.
This course is ideally suited to workplaces where a risk assessment has identified the need for staff to possess appropriate first aid skills and knowledge.
This statutory course is delivered as blended learning so just two days of classroom training and one day eLearning. This course is widely available at our UK wide training centres or at your place of work, under the guidance of our specialist First Aid at Work trainers. Using the latest training technique, it maximises learner recall and confidence and meets HSE regulations.
