More about this course
The Emergency First Aid at Work for Drivers Level 3 (VTQ) course (EFAW) is a ProTrainings CPD-certified qualification. All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured in accordance with the latest HSE guidelines and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work Regulations 1981 and all subsequent amendments.
All our first aid courses fully comply with the latest UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines, as required by the HSE. This course meets the requirements for Driver CPC periodic training when processed and audited through a DVSA-approved Driver CPC centre (formerly JAUPT-approved). ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.
This course must include a minimum of 7 contact hours (including the online element), and the certificate is valid for 3 years. To renew, learners must complete another 7-hour EFAW course.
In May 2016, the HSE and Awarding Organisations confirmed that computer-based blended learning is permitted for all workplace first aid qualifications. This course meets the requirements for the practical element when combined with the ProTrainings online component.
Learners now have the option to complete the Emergency First Aid at Work course as a blended programme, consisting of 3 hours of online learning followed by 4 hours of classroom tuition. This flexible approach allows learners to complete the theory at their own pace, before attending the face-to-face session with their instructor.
Our blended EFAW course fully meets HSE and Awarding Organisation standards and is available as a ProTrainings VTQ.
This modern approach to training is supported by years of experience delivering online, blended and classroom courses. Clear, concise and engaging, ProTrainings enables you to reduce the cost—not the quality—of your training.
Candidates completing our EFAW courses receive access to our video library to refresh their skills and reinforce their knowledge.
This qualification is accepted in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and is recognised in many other countries. The minimum learner age is 14.
The HSE strongly recommend that all first aiders complete annual first aid refresher training, and our online refresher course meets this requirement.
