Types of First Aid Training in Birmingham

The type of first aid training you need depends on the size of your workplace and the level of risk involved. In Birmingham, you can book accredited courses through Hurak, ranging from one-day essentials to more advanced multi-day programmes. Here are some of the most popular options:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

This one-day course is ideal for small to medium-sized workplaces in Birmingham, including offices, schools, and retail businesses. It focuses on the key first aid emergencies most likely to happen, giving staff the confidence to act quickly in urgent situations.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

A three-day comprehensive qualification designed for higher-risk environments, including factories, warehouses, and construction sites. Learners gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills to handle a wide range of incidents, ensuring compliance with HSE guidance.

First Aid at Work Refresher

This two-day requalification programme is for those who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate. It updates existing knowledge, refreshes practical skills, and allows learners to renew their certification before it lapses.

Paediatric First Aid

Designed for individuals working with children in schools, nurseries, and other childcare settings. This two-day course complies with Ofsted and EYFS standards and equips learners to respond confidently to medical emergencies involving infants and young children.

Mental Health First Aid

A two-day training programme that teaches participants how to spot signs of common mental health issues, provide initial reassurance, and direct colleagues to professional support. Delivered locally in Birmingham, this accredited course is widely recognised across UK workplaces.
