First Aid At Work Awareness Course

FIRST AID AT WORK AWARENESS COURSE

Online | £10 + VAT | Immediate Start |  Instant Certificate

This comprehensive online First Aid at Work Awareness course is appropriate for those with or without prior First Aid training.  This course has been designed for informational purposes only and is not designed to meet government First Aider certification requirements.

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and staff to ensure employees receive immediate attention if injured or taken ill at work. Failure to provide first aid could result in death, as well as potential prosecution for your company. Employers must ensure that anybody who is injured or taken ill receives immediate attention.

COURSE DURATION.

The estimated duration of the First Aid at Work Awareness course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.

COURSE ACCESS.

Learners receive 90 days of access to the First Aid at Work Awareness course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure.  Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish and as a result provides a more economical training option for businesses small and large.

Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.

Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.

WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?

The First Aid at Work Awareness course is ideal for workplace inductions and refresher training, or indeed for the training of anyone requiring knowledge of the need for efficient first aid systems and procedures in the workplace.

COURSE CONTENT.

The First Aid at Work Awareness course consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam:

UNIT 1 – ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
UNIT 2 – FIRST-AID INCIDENTS.
UNIT 3 – UNCONSCIOUS CASUALTIES.
UNIT 4 – INCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress.  At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.

The use of clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework which allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course.  Each section of the course is marked with a green check following completion, which allows learners to leave and then easily recommence training.
