First aid training Suffolk, first aiders are required to be present in all workplaces in the united kingdom. There are two main types of first aid course, emergency first aid at work a one day course that usually lasts for six hours contact time with a trainer excluding breaks and lunch. The one day emergency first aid courses are normally for low risks businesses.

First Aid At Work

The second most common type of first aid course is the first aid at work course and is normally a three day first aid course comprising of eighteen hours with a trainer. The course content of a three day first aid at work course covers many of the same topics as in the one day emergency first aid at work course but in more detail and covers medical conditions in much more detail and how to deal with more serious first aid emergency’s more likely to happen in high risk business for example construction or plant.

Many companies also require that supervisors and management attend more in depth three day first aid courses as they maybe required to also attend a first aid emergency and have further knowledge and skills than a colleague who may have attended a one day emergency first aid course.

Reputable first aid training providers should provide regulated first aid courses, these regulated first aid courses are normally accredited by an awarding body for example in secondary education the awarding body of GCSE's for example is edexcel among others. Regulated first aid training ensures that the first aid qualification means something and has met a national standard. This also ensures that the first aid course is listed by the provider to the awarding body and means that the course could be inspected with or without notice to the first aid training company by the first aid training companies awarding body, much like a ofsted inspection in a school (Ofsted regulates schools).

Regulation of first aid training is getting harder as this is to ensure that only first aid training companies with the correct staff who are qualified and experienced and have formal teaching qualifications teach first aid courses will survive, over the coming months and years I would expect the range of first aid training companies into days market places to shrink and for one man band first aid companies to all but disappear as the requirement for internal and external inspections by regulators mean that a one man band cannot self regulate himself, therefore they would not be able to offer a regulated qualification.

Choosing a reputable first aid training provider is important, your life could one day depend on the training and skill of your workplace first aider.
