What qualification is the First Aid at Work course in Nottingham?

It is our First Aid at Work course — the higher-tier workplace first aid training, accepted by HSE, CQC and Ofsted. Once trained, you will be First Aid at Work qualified.

How long is a First Aid at Work course?

The full First Aid at Work course is 3 days / 18 contact hours (typically Monday–Wednesday, 09:00–16:30). A 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification is available for learners renewing an in-date certificate. Learners from the Creative Quarter and Lace Market and the wider Nottingham area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

What is the difference between First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work?

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a 1-day (6-hour) course suited to low-hazard workplaces such as offices and small retail sites. First Aid at Work (FAW) is a 3-day (18-hour) course required for higher-risk environments — advanced manufacturing, life-sciences labs, warehousing, construction and food production — and covers a much wider range of injuries and medical emergencies. If your team is based around Boots Enterprise Zone at Beeston or elsewhere in Nottingham, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

How long is the First Aid at Work certificate valid for?

Certificates are valid for 3 years from the date of issue. HSE strongly recommends an annual half-day refresher to keep skills current, and a 2-day First Aid at Work Requalification before the 3-year expiry date to renew the certificate. Our Nottingham schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby East Midlands towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around Boots Enterprise Zone at Beeston.

What does the First Aid at Work course cover?

Primary and secondary survey, adult CPR and AED use, choking, recovery position, severe bleeding and shock, burns, fractures, head and spinal injuries, chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetic emergencies, seizures, minor injuries and unresponsive casualty management. Learners from Boots Enterprise Zone at Beeston and the wider Nottingham area sit this course with us each month — the content and certificate are the same wherever you're based.

Is a First Aid at Work qualified first aider a legal requirement?

Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, every employer must complete a first-aid needs assessment and provide adequate trained personnel. For higher-risk workplaces in Nottingham — Nottingham Science Park, East Midlands Gateway, Colwick Industrial Estate, manufacturing, warehousing and construction — the 3-day First Aid at Work course is normally the appropriate standard.

Can you fail the First Aid at Work course?

There is no traditional "pass or fail" exam, but learners must demonstrate competence in practical skills (CPR, recovery position, bleeding control, casualty management) and pass short written question papers. Trainers coach learners throughout the 3 days so most pass on the day. We deliver this first aid at work course in Nottingham regularly, with classroom dates near Boots Enterprise Zone at Beeston for employers across East Midlands.

Can I do the First Aid at Work course online?

No. The full First Aid at Work course must be delivered face-to-face so practical skills can be properly assessed.
