Although these courses won’t result in an accredited certificate, you will have the option to boost them to full accreditation once social distancing rules have been relaxed. The cost of the online course and added practical assessment are still significantly less than the cost of a regular course.

The courses available online are:

  • Online course for Emergency First Aid at Work course (EFAW - 1 day): £7.50 + VAT.
  • Online course for First Aid at Work course (FAW - 3 days): £10 + VAT. This includes the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course.

You can register to take the course at any time, but incomplete online courses will expire one year after registration.

After the course you will be able to download the online certificate of completion.

To register please contact admin@londonfirstaidtraining.com

Taking the full qualification

While the online courses are very useful to gain the theoretical knowledge, you will need to take further action once social distancing rules have been relaxed to gain the full accredited certificates in order to act as a first aider in the workplace or to be called a qualified first aider.

In order to be called a qualified first aider in the workplace and to receive an accredited certificate, the learner will need to take further assessments. These assessments are:

  • Written test - requires 100% correct answers.
  • Practical assessments (this will be offered at a later date)

The costs of taking the written tests/practical assessments:

  • for the 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course: £20.00 + VAT;
  • for the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course: £15.00 + vat
