Our First Aid Course Options Available in Cambridge
We offer a full range of first aid courses tailored to different needs, from basic emergency training to comprehensive workplace first aid and specialised paediatric training. Here are the main options you can book in Cambridge:
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
Short and focused, this one-day emergency first aid course is ideal for low-risk workplaces, small businesses, or individuals who wish to learn essential life-saving skills. EFAW covers key topics such as CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding control, shock management, and how to respond to common workplace incidents.
Three-Day First Aid at Work (FAW): Comprehensive Workplace Training
For more in-depth training, our three-day FAW course is designed for high-risk workplaces or environments where a dedicated first aider is required. This comprehensive course covers a wide range of emergencies: from major injuries and fractures to medical emergencies such as heart attacks, stroke, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), seizures, and more.
Paediatric First Aid (PFA): Caring for Babies & Children
If you work with children (e.g. nurseries, schools, child-minding) or you’re a parent wanting extra confidence, our paediatric first aid course is tailored to emergencies involving infants and children. The course covers paediatric CPR, choking, allergic reactions, fevers and convulsions, burns and scalds, common childhood accidents, and how to react calmly and correctly in emergencies.
First Aid Refresher & Re-qualification Courses
First aid knowledge and confidence can fade over time. For those whose certifications are expired or nearing expiry, we offer refresher courses and re-qualification training. Keeping your skills up-to-date is essential, especially if you’re a designated first aider at work or regularly care for children or vulnerable people.
What You’ll Learn - Real First Aid Skills, Not Just Theory
When you complete first aid training with us in Cambridge, you’ll gain practical experience in crucial areas, including:
CPR (adult, child, infant) and safe use of AEDs (automated external defibrillators).
How to assess and manage unresponsive casualties, choking (airway obstruction), severe bleeding, shock, burns, fractures, sprains, and other traumatic injuries.
How to respond to medical emergencies: heart attack, stroke, allergic reactions, seizures, asthma attacks, diabetic emergencies, and more.
First aid for babies and children: dealing with childhood accidents, infancy emergencies, allergic reactions, and paediatric CPR.
Safe first aid practices in the workplace, childcare, and public settings.
Understanding the legal and safety responsibilities of a first aider in the UK workplace environment.
These are the exact kinds of life-saving skills employers, parents, and community members should have, and using realistic scenarios ensures you’re prepared, calm, and effective when it matters.
