Types of First Aid Training in Newcastle

First aid training needs vary depending on the size of your workplace and the associated risks. In Newcastle, you can book accredited courses through Hurak, from entry-level one-day qualifications to advanced multi-day programmes. Below are some of the most popular options:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

A one-day course designed for small to medium workplaces in Newcastle, such as offices, shops, and schools. It covers the most common first aid emergencies and provides staff with the confidence to act quickly in critical situations.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

A comprehensive three-day qualification suitable for higher-risk workplaces, including construction sites, factories, and warehouses. Learners develop advanced skills in handling a wide range of incidents, ensuring full compliance with HSE requirements.

First Aid at Work Refresher

A two-day requalification course for those who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate. This training allows learners to refresh their knowledge, update skills, and renew their qualification before it expires.

Paediatric First Aid

Tailored for those working with children in nurseries, schools, and childcare settings. This two-day course meets Ofsted and EYFS standards, equipping learners with the skills to respond to medical emergencies involving infants and young people.

Mental Health First Aid

A two-day programme that helps staff recognise the signs of common mental health conditions, provide initial support, and guide colleagues towards professional help. This accredited training is delivered locally and is widely recognised across UK workplaces.

On-Site First Aid Training

For many employers, arranging on-site first aid training is the most cost-effective way to keep staff compliant and prepared. Instead of sending employees to separate venues, accredited trainers can deliver the full programme directly at your workplace.
