EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK FOR SCHOOLS

L3 (VTQ)

Course Outline


The Emergency First Aid at Work for Schools Level 3 (VTQ) qualification (EFAW) offered by ProTrainings is an excellent option for most schools that have determined, through risk assessment, that a fully trained first aider is not necessary for their workplace.


Successful learners completing this course will be awarded a VTQ certificate specifically stating 'Emergency First Aid At Work for Schools.'


Only eligible learners who work within the education system can attend this course.


All training sessions adhere to the new guidelines established by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the standards stipulated by the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations of 1981, including the subsequent modifications made in 2016.

Our first aid courses conform to the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 in accordance with HSE regulations. Additionally, ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.


The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.
