First Aid at Work Course in London

What Is the First Aid at Work Course?

The First Aid at Work course in London is a 3-day programme designed for teams operating in higher-risk environments, including construction, warehouses, manufacturing, and busy operational sites. Across the three days, you build practical, advanced workplace first aid skills—from managing sudden illness and carrying out secondary surveys to dealing with serious injuries such as burns and fractures.

What Will You Learn on the Course?

Delivered over three days, the First Aid at Work course in London covers core first aid principles and the wider skillset needed for demanding workplaces. You’ll learn to carry out an initial assessment, protect yourself and others, and deliver effective CPR when it’s needed. As the course progresses, you’ll move into higher-impact situations, such as managing chest and spinal injuries, treating burns and fractures, and responding to sudden medical conditions. This 3-day First Aid at Work course is designed to prepare you for anything from minor incidents to life-threatening emergencies.

• Primary assessment, incident control, and casualty checks
• Using an AED, placing someone in the recovery position, and performing CPR
• Responding to medical emergencies such as seizures, asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes
• Controlling bleeding and managing choking, shock, and collapse
• First aid for burns, fractures, head injuries, and injuries to the chest
• Recognising allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis), poisoning, and eye injuries

Once you complete this accredited Level 3 First Aid at Work course, you’ll be able to respond quickly and appropriately in workplaces where serious risks are present.
