Types of First Aid Training in Southend

Workplace environments differ in size and risk level, which means your first aid requirements may vary. In Southend, you can book accredited first aid courses through Hurak, ranging from introductory one-day qualifications to more in-depth multi-day programmes. Below are some of the key options available:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

This one-day training is well-suited to small and medium-sized workplaces in Southend, including offices, shops, and educational settings. It covers the most common first aid emergencies and helps staff feel confident responding in urgent situations.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

This comprehensive three-day programme is ideal for higher-risk workplaces such as manufacturing, construction, and industrial environments. Learners develop a wider range of practical skills to manage different incidents while ensuring they meet HSE expectations.

First Aid at Work Refresher

This two-day refresher course is designed for those who already hold a valid First Aid at Work qualification and need to renew it. It helps learners reinforce their knowledge, update essential skills, and remain compliant before their certificate expires.

Paediatric First Aid

Created for individuals working with children in nurseries, schools, and wider childcare settings, this two-day course aligns with Ofsted and EYFS requirements. It prepares learners to respond appropriately to emergencies involving infants and young people.

Mental Health First Aid

This two-day course supports learners in recognising early signs of mental health concerns, offering initial reassurance, and guiding individuals towards suitable professional support. The qualification is widely recognised across workplaces in the UK.

On-Site First Aid Training

Many organisations find that hosting first aid training at their own premises is an efficient way to keep staff confident and compliant. Instead of travelling to external venues, accredited trainers can deliver the full programme within your workplace, making it easier to accommodate team schedules. This format also allows the content to reflect the specific risks of your environment, whether that’s an office, warehouse, construction setting, or childcare facility.
