1 Day Emergency First Aid at Work Course (EFAW)

The 1 day emergency first aid at work course is for employees who have been chosen to carry out first aid in the work place. This course will help the company meet their duties laid out in section 3(2) of the Health and Safety First Aid Regulations 1981.

In January 2018 there some changes in first aid certification but do not worry as ALTTA is already approved to deliver the new RQF 1 day level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work course at our Peterborough academy or at a venue of your choosing

The first aid competition in Cambridgeshire is high so why use ALTTA?

We pride ourselves on not only having teaching experience in the classroom but also having hands on experience in delivering first aid within the work place. Our first aid instructors have dealt with a wide range of incidents from cut fingers through to CPR on a member of the public. One of our first aid at work instructors has a St Johns commendation for carrying out successful CPR to a member of the public. He did this with an ex candidate that he taught.

We also believe with keeping first aid simple. Our instructors will not try and blind you with medical jargon, as far as we are concerned an arm is an arm and a leg is a leg. A lot of people are put off first aid courses as they are worried about the medical terms that are often used, however this will not happen at ALTTA.
