First Aid At Work Course (3 Days)

No experience needed. Just three days that could change how you handle the worst moment of someone’s day.

Nobody plans for the colleague who collapses in the warehouse, the choking incident in the staff kitchen, the fall on the stairs that leaves someone unable to move. But these things happen in offices, on construction sites, in shops, in warehouses and when they do, the gap between “someone knew what to do” and “everyone just stood there” can be the whole outcome.

That’s the gap K4 Training’s first aid at work course closes. This isn’t a box-ticking exercise you sit through once and forget. It’s three days that leave you genuinely capable of walking into a bad situation, keeping your head and doing the right thing until help arrives.

Whether you know it as first aid at work training or simply workplace first aid, it’s the qualification most employers turn to first when they need trained first aiders on site. If you’re a supervisor, an employer, a designated workplace first aider, or just someone who wants to be the person who knows what to do, this one’s for you.

• Employers and supervisors who need trained first aiders on site to meet their legal duties
• Anyone nominated as their workplace’s designated first aider
• People in higher-risk environments: construction, warehousing, manufacturing, security
• HR and health & safety leads responsible for workplace first aid cover
• Anyone who simply wants the skills and the confidence that come with them

You don’t need a medical background. You need three days and a willingness to get stuck into the practical work.

This is hands-on training built around real workplace situations, not a lecture you sit through with a manual on your lap. Over the three days you’ll learn how to help someone who is:

• Unresponsive and breathing, or unresponsive and not breathing, including how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
• Choking
• Bleeding heavily
• Going into shock
• Burned or scalded
• Feeling faint
• Affected by poisoning
• Dealing with a head injury
• Showing signs of hypothermia or heat exhaustion
• Injured in the bones, muscles, joints, or spine

Alongside the practical skills, you’ll cover the knowledge every workplace first aider needs: assessing a casualty safely, monitoring them while help is on the way, knowing when to escalate, responding to electrical incidents, accident recording and the basics of COSHH.

Complete the course and you’ll hold a first aid at work qualification, the Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF), HSE-compliant and Ofqual-regulated, recognised right across the UK. It’s the qualification most employers point to when they’re asked whether their workplace has appropriate first aid cover.

This isn’t a watered-down award you forget the week after. It’s built to the same standard the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 expect from a genuinely competent workplace first aider, which is exactly what three days of scenario-led training is designed to make you.

We built this programme around one idea: you shouldn’t have to guess what to do when it counts. So the whole thing is scenario-led; you’ll practise on real-feeling situations, not just memorise a checklist.

• Trainers who’ve worked in first aid and safety roles themselves, not just taught the syllabus
• Small groups, so you actually get hands-on time with every technique
• A qualification that’s HSE-compliant and Ofqual-regulated, recognised across the UK
• Assessment built into the course itself, not one big exam at the end that everyone dreads

By the time you leave, you’re not hoping you’d remember what to do. You’ll know.

• Delivered as a 3-day classroom first aid course programme, the standard, HSE-recognised format
• Practical, scenario-based sessions running across all three days
• Comfortable clothing recommended; you’ll be moving, kneeling and practising techniques throughout
• If you’re comparing 3-day first aid courses elsewhere, ask what’s actually included in the price; ours covers materials, assessment and certification with nothing added on afterwards

Our first aid at work course London sessions run from our training venue, with small class sizes and assessment woven through the course rather than saved for the end. If you’re based in or around London and need a 3-day first aid at work qualification without travelling far to get it, this is where you’ll train.
