Types of First Aid Training in Bedford

The type of first aid training you need depends on the size of your workplace and the associated risks. In Bedford, Hurak offers accredited courses ranging from one-day essentials to advanced multi-day programmes. Here are some of the most popular options:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

First Aid at Work (FAW)

For many Bedford employers, organising first aid training at your own site is often the simplest and most economical way to ensure your team stays compliant and confident.
