Types of First Aid Training in Cardiff

The type of first aid training you need often depends on your workplace size, nature of work, and associated risks. In Cardiff, Hurak provides a comprehensive selection of accredited first aid courses, ranging from concise one-day programmes to advanced multi-day qualifications. Below are some of the most popular courses available for individuals and organisations across the city:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

This one-day course is perfect for small and medium-sized workplaces in Cardiff—such as offices, retail outlets, and schools. It focuses on the most frequent workplace emergencies, helping participants build the confidence to act effectively when it matters most.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

This in-depth three-day qualification is ideal for higher-risk environments, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses. It equips learners with advanced first aid knowledge to manage complex incidents and ensures compliance with HSE guidelines.

First Aid at Work Refresher

This two-day requalification course is designed for those who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate. It allows learners to refresh practical skills, update theoretical knowledge, and renew their certification before expiry.

Paediatric First Aid

Created for those caring for children—such as teachers, nursery staff, and childminders—this two-day course meets Ofsted and EYFS standards. It trains participants to respond calmly and effectively to medical emergencies involving infants and young children.

Mental Health First Aid

This two-day programme helps learners identify early signs of mental health concerns, provide initial assistance, and guide individuals toward appropriate professional support. The course is accredited, widely recognised, and promotes mental well-being across workplaces in Cardiff.
