The First Aid at Work (FAW) training course available in Salisbury equips participants with essential skills to handle various emergencies and sudden health issues effectively. Specifically developed for people employed in higher-risk sectors like construction, manufacturing, or sizeable business offices, this training (available as a 2-day or 3-day option) meets all UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards.

At our Salisbury location, you will benefit from knowledgeable instructors delivering practical, hands-on sessions. Whether you are preparing to become your organisation’s official first aider or aiming to enhance your job prospects, this Level 3 qualification represents the premier standard. Once you have successfully passed both practical and written exams, you will be awarded your First Aid at Work Certificate, which remains valid for a period of three years. Candidates must be aged 16 or above to serve as a workplace first aider.

It covers critical conditions including major illnesses, spinal injuries, and anaphylaxis, making it essential for complex or hazardous job environments.
