Course overview

Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed for workplaces and organisations that need practical, relevant first aid training delivered in a clear and confident way. It supports employers who want staff to feel prepared, respond calmly and manage common workplace incidents safely until further help arrives.

This is emergency first aid training in South Wales built around real situations that people may face at work. When an incident happens, the first few minutes matter. Staff need the confidence to assess the situation, protect themselves and others, provide immediate assistance and take appropriate action quickly and safely.

The programme gives learners the knowledge and practical skills to respond to a range of workplace first aid situations more confidently. That includes assessing an emergency, managing an unresponsive casualty, performing CPR, using an AED, dealing with choking, bleeding, shock and minor injuries, and understanding how to respond in a safe and structured way.

  • Staff nominated as emergency first aiders in workplaces and organisations
  • Employers who need to meet first aid needs assessment requirements with practical training
  • Teams who want clear, confidence-building first aid training that is easy to apply in real situations
  • Workplaces looking for public courses in South Wales or private on-site delivery across Wales and the UK

Why this training matters

Good emergency first aid training is about much more than memorising steps. In a real workplace incident, people need to stay calm, think clearly and follow a practical process that helps protect life while reducing risk. That is why our delivery focuses on simple, usable first aid actions that learners can remember and apply under pressure.

We also recognise that employers want training that feels relevant to their workplace rather than generic. Our delivery is designed to build confidence, strengthen readiness and support safer responses across teams.
