From October 2009, the traditional 4 day HSE First Aid at Work Qualification ceased to exist and was replaced by two new courses;

First Aid At Work– (Three days) and Emergency First Aid at Work – (One day)

The optional annual update, First Aid - Basic Skills Refresher (3hours) has also been added.

Official HSE guidelines, from their website:

“First aid training is required by law for all companies and businesses. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed. “
