NOTE

This Emergency First Aid at Work award (EFAW) has been accredited by the regulators of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (Ofqual, Welsh Government and CCEA) and is part of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).

It is supported by Skills for Health, the Sector Skills Council for Health (QCF) Changes to first aid regulations that came into force from the 1st of October 2013, and removed the requirement for the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to approve first aid training providers.

The removal of the HSE approval process gives you as a practitioner and small business, greater flexibility to choose your own first aid training provider. This helps to ensure that the first aid training you get is right for your workplace, based on your own needs assessment and individual practitioner and business needs.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
