Qualify your first aiders in a single day
Emergency First Aid at Work is the HSE-recognised one-day course that qualifies nominated first aiders in lower-risk workplaces. Delegates cover incident management, resuscitation, the core first aid priorities and the common workplace injuries they are most likely to encounter. Delivered on-site at your premises for up to 12 delegates. A closed course lets Opus tailor the scenarios to your sector and incident arrangements.
Three steps to a certified team
Pick the course, confirm a date, and we run the training. Every delegate leaves with a certificate - clear booking, clear agenda, no admin chase.
01
Scoped to your workplace
Opus confirms the roles delegates hold and your incident arrangements before delivery. Scenarios in training reflect your own environment so delegates leave ready to respond on site.
02
One-day practical training
A one-day combination of theory and realistic scenario practice. Delegates cover first aid regulations, managing an incident, first aid priorities, treatment of an unconscious casualty, resuscitation, shock, choking, seizures, bleeding and common workplace injuries.

03
Assessment and 3-year certificate
Delegates are continuously monitored and complete a multiple-choice assessment. Successful delegates receive a Certificate of Attendance valid for 3 years. Annual refresher training is recommended to keep skills sharp.
