Course Syllabus

  • Aim and Purpose of First Aid

    The chapter begins by setting out the scope, content and purpose of the course and then goes on to detail the legislation behind first aid provision in the workplace, defines what first aid is all about and describes the aim and purpose of first aid.


  • Expectations of a First Aider

    This chapter highlights what is expected of a first aider in the workplace, including the attributes expected of a first aider.


  • Equipment & Infection

    In this chapter, we explain what first aid equipment should be available in an average workplace and then go on to examine how infection can occur and how to minimise the risk of infection for the first aider, the casualty and others.


  • Getting Help

    This chapter explores how to get help in a first aid situation. This includes help from passers-by, work colleagues, etc., as well as from health professionals and the emergency services.


  • Treatment of Minor Injuries

    In this final chapter, we cover the treatment of minor injuries. These are by far the most common type of injuries that a first aider will be presented with in the workplace.


Obtaining your certificate

You will need to pass a multiple-choice exam at the end of the course in order to gain your accreditation. Once passed, we will send your official certificate by email.
