FAA Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) • All learners will have the skills and knowledge to provide the organisation with Emergency First Aider’s that can provide treatment to their casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner. Heart and circulatory disease claims around 200,000 lives each year. Many could have been saved if a defibrillator was made available. Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) are now becoming more common throughout a range of public and work places.

This very practical course will enable your learners to use the AED competently and with confidence. • Duration A minimum of 1 hours spread over at least 3 days.
