We are on the Wrexham Industrial Estate, is EFAW the right course?

It depends on your specific work activities. A factory floor is a higher-risk environment and would likely require the 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course. The EFAW course is ideal for your office and administrative staff. A needs assessment is essential.

EFAW is a 1-day (6-hour) course suited to low-hazard workplaces such as offices, retail and small sites. FAW is a 3-day (18-hour) course required for higher-risk environments like manufacturing on Wrexham Industrial Estate, construction and warehousing.

What does the employer need to provide?

Employers must complete a first-aid needs assessment and ensure the right number of trained first aiders, an accessible first-aid kit and an appointed person. We can advise on numbers based on your headcount and risk profile.

Is there a written exam?

Yes – a short written question paper alongside continuous practical assessment of CPR, recovery position, bleeding control and casualty management. There is no formal "pass or fail" on the day; trainers support learners throughout. If your team is based around the A483 / Deeside corridor or elsewhere in Wrexham, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

Wear comfortable, modest clothing – you will be kneeling on the floor for CPR practice and moving casualties into the recovery position. Avoid skirts, dresses or restrictive trousers.
