06 Questions answered

Before you scope emergency first aid at work.

These are general operational answers. The assessment establishes the exact legal, licensing, safety and delivery requirements.

01Is Emergency First Aid at Work a one-day course?

It is commonly delivered over one day, subject to the awarding specification and required learning hours. Attendance and practical assessment requirements apply.

02How long does the certificate last?

Workplace first-aid certificates are commonly valid for three years, with annual refresher practice recommended. Always check the current certificate and employer risk assessment.

03Is this course suitable for event medics?

It is a valuable first-aid foundation but may not meet the clinical capability required for a particular event medical role. The event medical risk assessment determines the qualification level needed.
