What level of First Aid Training do I need?
If you're just looking for a basic first aid course, and it's not for work or a club or group, then our First Aid Essentials or First Aid for Parents course might be the ideal starting place for you. From experience, sports clubs, such as amateur football, judo, netball & athletics clubs, normally only require coaches to hold an Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate. However the Activity First Aid course might be better for you as it's specifically designed for sports clubs.
It covers the EFAW syllabus but also has additional course content such as first aid for dislocated joints. We'd obviously recommend that you check with your This obviously depends on which governing body your club is affiliated to, so it's worth checking with them before making your booking.
If you're still unsure, give us a call and we'll happily discuss your training needs.
As an employer or self-employed person, you are legally required to provide suitable and sufficient first aid provision for yourself and your employees. The amount and level of that provision can only be determined by a risk assessment of your workplace, club or school. The HSE website provides guidance on how to do this assessment.
Selecting a competent first aid training organisation
Since 1st October 2013 the Health & Safety Executive no longer approves first aid training organisations. This means that it is the employer's duty to ensure that any training provider that they select for the purposes of first aid training is competent to deliver that training.
The HSE has produced a guidance sheet on selecting a first aid training provider that sets out the criteria that a competent training provider should be able to demonstrate.
These criteria include:
- the qualifications expected of trainers and assessors;
- monitoring and quality assurance systems a training company has in place;
- teaching and standards of first-aid practice;
- syllabus content; and
- the information included on a certificate.
We have completed this guidance sheet for you so you can be assured of our competence as a training provider. Please download our pre-filled report here in xlsx [Microsoft Office] format
[also available in Open Document and PDF format].
