Register for First Aid at Work Training in Andover

The First Aid at Work (FAW) training course available in Andover equips participants with the expertise necessary to handle diverse medical emergencies and sudden health crises. Tailored for those employed in higher-risk sectors such as construction, manufacturing, or large-scale business environments, this programme (available as a 2-day or 3-day option) guarantees compliance with the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.

At our Andover location, you will receive hands-on training from knowledgeable instructors. Whether you are preparing to serve as your organisation’s appointed first aider or aiming to enhance your job prospects, this Level 3 certification is highly respected. Successful candidates who pass both practical and written tests will be awarded the First Aid at Work Certificate, valid for a period of three years. The minimum age to take on the role of a workplace first aider is 16 years.

Higher-Risk Workplaces

Available as either a 2-day course (with pre-course e-learning) or a 3-day classroom-based course, the FAW qualification goes well beyond the shorter 1-day EFAW. It covers critical conditions including major illnesses, spinal injuries, and anaphylaxis, making it vital for demanding or hazardous work settings.

Legal Compliance 

Maintain your organisation’s adherence to the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 by having a fully certified first aider present in the workplace.
