CPD Certified Training Approved by Skills for Care

This option is a part 2 of the full 6 hour EFAW qualification. To complete this part 2 course, you must make sure you have completed the online 3 hour part 1 option first, then book and complete this part 2. If you have not done so already, you will need to find your nearest instructor using www.procourses.co.uk. This may incur an additional fee directly with the instructor (buying the online part 1 and then paying for the classroom part 2).

Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 (VTQ) blended part 2 for those who have already completed the online part.  The ProTrainings Emergency First Aid at Work Level 3 qualification (EFAW) is ideal for most businesses whose risk assessment has identified that there is no requirement for a fully trained first aider for their workplace. 

The SIA will accept this training certificate for those seeking employment in the door supervision and security guard sector. 

All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to meet the new guidelines set out by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981 and subsequent 2017 changes. ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.

In May 2016 the HSE and Awarding Organisations announced that computer-based blended training is now allowed for all workplace first aid courses.  You now have the option to complete your Emergency First Aid at Work course as a blended course, with 2 hours of online training followed by 4 hours in the classroom. Our blended training allows you to learn the theory at your pace, one to one with your instructor at a time that suits you.

This blended EFAW course meets all of the requirements of the HSE and Awarding Organisations and is available as a ProTrainings or Regulated Qualification.

If you prefer the traditional 6-hour Emergency First Aid at Work course, we can do that too, just contact us for more information.

A modern approach to training, backed up by years of experience providing online, blended and classroom courses. Clear, concise and engaging, when you choose ProTrainings you reduce the cost, not the quality of your training.

All our first aid courses fully meet the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements.

The HSE strongly recommend that all first aiders complete an annual first aid refresher course and our online course meets this requirement.

Please note that learners undertaking a ProTrainings Trainings Course have the option to choose to take a regulated qualification.

Please be advised that the classroom course has a minimum age requirement of 14.
