Overview

In the UK alone, there were an estimated 604,000 non-fatal injuries to workers in 2023/24 and 61,663 officially reported under RIDDOR —clearly illuminating how crucial proper First Aid Training and maintaining a well-equipped First Aid Kit is. Furthermore, a survey by St John Ambulance found only 43% of people know how to administer CPR and just 32% would confidently use a defibrillator — therefore reaffirming the urgent need for structured First Aid Training. This course is ideal for anyone who wants to become an appointed person, upgrade workplace safety standards, or simply enhance their personal preparedness.

Learners will benefit from mastering first‐aid principles, understanding how to manage incidents, stocking a compliant First Aid Kit, and organising a First Aid Box according to workplace needs (as well as legal requirements). Additionally, alongside the core modules, you’ll receive high-quality course materials, downloadable mind-maps, templates for your First Aid Box log, and case studies to embed your learning. Being CPD-accredited means you can highlight the qualification on your CV — thus demonstrating commitment to professional standards and consequently signalling to employers that you possess advanced First Aid Training credentials.
