Types of First Aid Training in Southampton

Workplaces differ in their level of risk and staffing needs, which means first aid requirements can vary. In Southampton, you can book accredited first aid courses through Hurak, ranging from essential one-day training to more comprehensive multi-day programmes. Listed below are some of the key options available:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

This one-day qualification is well-suited for low- to medium-risk environments such as offices, retail settings, and educational workplaces in Southampton. It focuses on the most common first aid emergencies and equips participants with the confidence to respond effectively when urgent situations arise.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

This in-depth three-day course is intended for higher-risk sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and industrial workplaces. Learners develop a broader set of practical skills to manage a wide variety of incidents while ensuring they meet HSE standards.

First Aid at Work Refresher

This two-day requalification course is designed for individuals who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate and need to renew it. The training helps participants reinforce their existing knowledge, update their practical skills, and remain compliant before their certification expires.

Paediatric First Aid

Ideal for those working with children in nurseries, schools, and wider childcare settings. This two-day programme meets Ofsted and EYFS requirements and prepares learners to manage medical emergencies involving babies, toddlers, and young people.

Mental Health First Aid

This two-day course enables learners to identify early signs of mental health concerns, offer initial reassurance, and direct individuals towards appropriate professional support. The qualification is widely recognised across workplaces throughout the UK.

On-Site First Aid Training

Many organisations find that hosting first aid training at their own premises is one of the most efficient ways to keep staff confident and compliant. Instead of travelling to external venues, accredited trainers can deliver the entire course within your workplace, making it easier to accommodate team schedules. This also means the training can reflect the specific risks of your environment—whether that’s an office setting, a warehouse, a construction area, or childcare facilities.

Key Benefits of On-Site Training

• ✓ Sessions can be shaped around the risks and layout of your own workplace, making the training more relevant to your team.
• ✓ Bringing training to your premises removes travel time for staff and helps minimise disruption to the working day.
• ✓ A practical choice for groups, as on-site delivery can often be more cost-efficient than sending individuals on separate courses.
• ✓ Leads to the same accredited qualifications offered through classroom-based training.
• ✓ Supports your organisation in meeting Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requirements.
• ✓ Flexible scheduling options, with weekday, weekend and evening sessions available.
• ✓ Allows teams to practise skills in the same environment where real emergencies may occur.
