Emergency First Aid at Work Course Content
The Level 2 Emergency First Aid at Work Training Course is 1 day long and prepares you to respond correctly in emergency situations.
The EFAW Training covers the following topics:
✅ Taking charge and summoning help
✅ Priorities in First Aid
✅ Controlling Bleeding
✅ Epilepsy
✅ Poisoning
✅ Burns and Scalds
To obtain an Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate, you will need to attend additional practical training and an assessment in a classroom.
The online course, classroom practical training and assessment meets all guidelines. The resulting qualification is recognised by the HSE.
Qualification in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is one of 4 first aid qualifications that are classed as a requirement to getting your SIA licence.
Passing this course means you’re qualified to move towards your SIA licence with confidence.
EFAW is designed for low-risk workplaces, such as offices or smaller retail stores – high-risk places like factories, construction sites and warehouses require security professionals with the more in-depth First Aid at Work qualification.
However, the EFAW course is still very comprehensive, giving you the first aid skills, you need to stay compliant for your SIA licence – and it only takes a day to complete.
The EFAW course will also introduce you to health and safety regulations that help you to prevent incidents proactively.
You’ll also learn emergency situation management.
That lets you know how to communicate with the casualty – as well as advise people around you and report the incident to medical professionals.
EFAW course training takes place in person, in a classroom. Once you get your EFAW qualification, it lasts for 3 years before needing renewal.

What’s the difference between FAW and EFAW courses?
✅While both of these courses give security professionals life-saving knowledge, a First Aid at Work (FAW) course is more in-depth than an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course. As such, FAW courses let you work in security in more locations.
However, an EFAW course can be completed in just one day, compared to the three days required to complete an FAW course. EFAW courses are great for when businesses need a security professional fast, at low-risk workplaces – but an FAW course prepares you to work in a huge range of industries.
✅Low-risk premises are places such as shops, offices and public venues, whereas high-risk premises (as covered by the training in an FAW course) include factories, warehouses, industrial sites and chemical facilities.
✅Security professionals with FAW qualifications are more attractive to more employers, in more industries. Because businesses are advised by the government to have at least one first aider per 50 people, your FAW qualification makes you an attractive hire to employers.
