Frequently asked questions
How long is an EFAW course?+
Emergency First Aid at Work is typically a one-day course covering six hours of training, though blended options may split this between online and face-to-face learning.
How long is the certificate valid?+
EFAW certificates are valid for three years. You must complete a refresher course before expiry to remain a qualified workplace first aider.
Who needs EFAW training?+
Employers must carry out a first aid needs assessment. EFAW suits lower-risk workplaces such as offices, shops, and libraries where a full three-day First Aid at Work qualification is not required.
Is EFAW HSE recognised?+
Yes. EFAW meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 for appropriate workplace first aid provision in low-risk settings.
How much does EFAW cost?+
Public courses typically range from £80 to £150 per person plus VAT. On-site group training for 6–12 delegates is often more cost-effective for businesses.
Can training be delivered at our workplace?+
Most providers offer on-site delivery for groups. This is popular with businesses that need several staff trained at once.
