What are the key differences between the 3-day and 1-day first aid at work courses

The key differences between the  First Aid at Work 3 day course and the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course are:

  • Duration: The FAW course lasts 3 days (18 hours), while the EFAW course lasts 1 day (6 hours).

  • Content: The FAW course covers more topics and gives more detail than the EFAW course.

  • Workplace suitability:

    • EFAW is good for smaller, low-risk places like offices and shops.
    • FAW is for larger or more risky workplaces like construction sites, factories, and warehouses.
  • Qualification level: FAW is a level 3 qualification (like an A-Level), and EFAW is also considered a level 3 qualification.

  • Extra skills covered in FAW:

    • Treatment of head injuries
    • Hypothermia and heat exhaustion
    • Spinal injuries
    • Poisoning
    • Diabetic emergencies
    • Heart attacks and how to give aspirin
    • Severe allergic reactions
  • Certification validity: Both qualifications last for three years.

  • Risk Checks: FAW is better for workplaces with specific risks or health problems in their first aid needs.

These differences help workplaces pick the right training based on their needs and risks. You can discuss these two First Aid at Work course options with our course advisors by calling the number above. For schools, they may opt for our 2-day Paediatric First Aid Course.

When Should You Renew Your First Aid at Work Certificate?

You should renew your First Aid at Work certification every three years.

  • Renew Every Three Years: Your First Aid certificate is good for three years. Then you need to renew it.
  • Take a Short Course: To renew, you need to take a two-day course before your certificate ends.
  • Take the Course Early: You can take the course three months before your certificate ends.
  • Expired Certificate: If your certificate ends, you have 28 days to take the short course. After 28 days, you need to take the full three-day course again.
  • Practice Every Year: It’s a good idea to practice your first aid skills every year so you don’t forget. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggests that first aiders also take training every year to keep their skills fresh and know about any changes.
  • Plan Ahead: Make sure you renew your certificate on time because there’s no extra time if you forget.

By doing these things, you can keep your certificate valid, stay compliant and help people in emergencies.

Even though your First Aid at Work certificate lasts for three years, taking this yearly refresher course helps you stay confident and ready to help in an emergency.
