Whether designated as a workplace first aider or simply seeking to enhance your knowledge, you will be prepared to respond promptly, provide essential first aid treatment, and potentially save lives in your workplace.
Throughout the training, a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical exercises will be used, enabling you as a learner to apply your skills in simulated emergency scenarios.
Experienced instructors will guide participants, ensuring you’re equipped with the confidence and competence necessary to handle emergency situations effectively.
During this course, you will gain a solid understanding of your role and responsibilities as a first aider and learn how to assess emergency situations confidently. You will receive hands-on training in various life-saving techniques.
The EFAW course will be assessed through a practical assessment. The assessment takes place during the class, eliminating the need for a final exam. Successful completion simply requires attentive adherence to the course content and the ability to effectively demonstrate the acquired knowledge and skills on the same day.
Practical Assessment:
Participants are assessed on their ability to apply first aid skills in practical scenarios. Trained instructors observe participants as they demonstrate techniques like CPR, the use of AEDs, management of bleeding or shock, and other relevant first aid procedures. They provide feedback, and guidance, and evaluate participants’ competency in applying correct procedures effectively.
The aim of these assessments is to ensure that participants are capable of responding appropriately and confidently during real-life emergency situations.
Upon successful completion of the EFAW course, participants are awarded the EFAW qualification, which remains valid for a period of three years. This means that individuals can confidently apply their acquired knowledge and skills in the workplace during emergencies for the duration of the qualification.
