YouFirst Aid offers a range of regulated and non-regulated courses including online awareness courses. You can find all the course we offer on our Courses page.

The 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) course is a comprehensive training covering a wide range of injuries and medical conditions, suitable for higher-risk workplaces like construction sites or factories.

The 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course focuses on essential life-saving skills and is more suited to lower-risk environments such as offices or shops. Employers should choose based on the level of risk in their workplace and the responsibilities of the first aider.

Please contact your employer to find out which course is necessary for your specific job role.

In the UK, regulated first aid courses are accredited and meet specific standards set by awarding bodies, ensuring compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. These are ideal for employers needing to fulfill legal obligations for workplace safety (i.e. construction, factories and high risk environments)

Non-regulated courses are more common and still need to comply with HSE guidelines but are not audited and regulated by a formal body. These types of courses can be useful for lower risk environments as they offer more flexibility in content and delivery; they may suit community groups, individuals, or organisations seeking broader first aid skills. These courses still provide certification of competency and awareness.

Choosing between regulated and non-regulated depends on the legal requirements of your employer or specific industry as well as the intended use of the training.
