Not sure which first aid course you need?
We’ll keep this simple.
I need this for work
Office, gym, small business (lower risk)
→ Most people take Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day)
Higher risk workplace or more responsibility
→ Most people take First Aid at Work (more in-depth)
I just want to learn the basics
For confidence, family or personal safety
→ Basic Life Support (short course)
I need first aid training for babies or children
For parents, carers, or those working with children:
Basic or lower risk roles
→ Emergency Paediatric First Aid (1 day)
Full requirement for childcare settings (Ofsted, nurseries, etc.)
→ Paediatric First Aid (2 day)
A quick note
The right course depends on your situation.
Workplaces are expected to carry out a first aid needs assessment based on things like risk level, number of people, and the type of environment.

Next step
Still unsure?
If someone collapsed in front of you…most people hesitate for a second.
That’s normal.
You don’t need loads of information.
You just need to know what to do first.
One of the people we trained had to step in when someone collapsed.
No warning. No time to think.
They didn’t overthink it.
They just followed what they’d learned.
That’s what we train for.
