Operated by Siren First Aid Courses, a partner of adventuro.
This Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is a 6-hour accredited session designed for those working in low-risk environments such as offices, gyms, retail spaces, and schools. It meets the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations of 1981, ensuring your workplace remains compliant while providing valuable life-saving knowledge. Participants complete a mix of practical exercises and classroom learning to build confidence and skill in handling real emergencies.
The Emergency First Aid at Work course combines essential first aid knowledge with realistic, hands-on learning. The morning covers the core principles of first aid, including scene safety, casualty assessment, and the responsibilities of a first aider. You’ll learn how to handle unconscious casualties, perform CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Each skill is taught through demonstration and practice, with plenty of time for questions and instructor feedback.
After lunch, the focus moves to practical response in specific situations such as choking, bleeding, burns, and shock. You’ll also learn about recording workplace incidents and the legal obligations of a first aider. The course finishes with a short multiple-choice test to confirm your understanding. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a certificate valid for three years, confirming your competence as an emergency first aider.
Courses run daily across seven London venues, including Old Street, Victoria, London Bridge, Kings Cross, Greenwich, Charing Cross, and Heathrow. Each venue is fully equipped with the resources and facilities needed for interactive learning, with easy access to public transport links. You’ll receive full joining instructions, including directions and parking details, in your confirmation email.
If you’re booking on behalf of a company or group, in-house training can be arranged at your workplace. This option is often more cost-effective and convenient, allowing your team to train together in a familiar setting. To arrange on-site training, simply contact the team for a tailored quote.
No previous first aid experience is required to take this course. It’s designed for beginners as well as those refreshing their existing qualification. Participants should be able to take part in light physical activities such as kneeling and performing CPR on the floor.
Training is delivered in English, so a reasonable understanding of spoken and written English is required. All attendees must bring a valid form of photo ID for verification before starting the course.
Courses are taught by experienced instructors with professional backgrounds in emergency response, including paramedics, firefighters, and armed forces personnel. Their real-world insight ensures every example and scenario feels relevant and practical. Each session is interactive, encouraging you to build confidence and competence through guided hands-on learning.
With daily courses across London and flexible scheduling for groups, finding a suitable date and venue is easy. Fully accredited and aligned with workplace regulations, this provider is trusted by thousands of companies for its consistent quality and professionalism. Whether you join a public session or arrange on-site group training, you’ll receive expert instruction that leaves you fully prepared to act in an emergency.
Yes. It is mandatory to present a valid form of photo identification when you arrive for your course. This ensures that all participants are correctly registered and that certificates are issued to the right individuals. Accepted forms of ID include a passport, driving licence, or any government-issued photo card. Without suitable identification, you may not be able to take part in the training or receive your certificate.
Checking ID also helps maintain the professional and accredited standards required by the awarding body. It confirms that the person completing the assessments is the same individual named on the certificate. To avoid delays on the day, have your ID ready to show at registration before the course begins.
Certificates are processed shortly after the course is completed and successfully passed. Typically, you can expect to receive your PDF certificate within 3–5 working days via email. This ensures you have quick access to your accreditation, whether you need it for work, volunteering, or personal use.
If you require your certificate urgently, it’s best to let the team know before your course begins. They can often prioritise your paperwork where possible, depending on the number of participants and administrative workload. Certificates are always sent electronically to maintain efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Courses begin promptly at 10:00 am and finish around 17:00. This full-day structure allows ample time to cover both theory and practical elements thoroughly, without feeling rushed. It’s recommended that participants arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete registration and settle in before the session starts.
The finish time may vary slightly depending on class size, discussion, and practical participation. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day, including a lunch break, giving you time to rest and refocus. Late arrivals may not be admitted due to the strict requirements for contact hours.
Yes. Practical participation is a mandatory part of all accredited First Aid courses. It ensures you can demonstrate the skills required to perform life-saving techniques safely and effectively. This includes CPR, recovery positions, and the use of an AED, all of which are assessed by qualified instructors.
Completing the practical elements also meets the legal and industry standards for certification. Without showing competency in these skills, it would not be possible to achieve a pass. Practical sessions are supportive and guided carefully to help you build confidence in applying First Aid in real-world situations.
Certificates are issued in PDF format only. This policy helps reduce plastic waste and aligns with the provider’s commitment to sustainability. The digital certificate can be stored on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, and is fully recognised by employers and accrediting bodies.
Having a digital version also means you’ll always have quick access to your certification when needed, without worrying about misplacing a physical card. If you need to print your certificate for workplace display, you can easily do so from the PDF file.
Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive an information pack via email that includes the exact address of your training venue. This pack also contains directions, transport options, and any additional details you’ll need for the day.
The address is not shared publicly for security and administrative reasons, ensuring that only registered participants receive it. Be sure to check your confirmation email carefully, as it also includes important pre-course reminders and arrival instructions.
Lunch is not provided during the course, so participants should bring their own packed meal. Venues are typically chosen for accessibility, but some may have limited food options nearby. Bringing your own food helps ensure you can make the most of the scheduled lunch break without needing to travel.
Water, tea, and coffee may be available depending on the location, but this varies. If you have specific dietary requirements, it’s best to prepare in advance. There are usually designated areas where you can comfortably eat your lunch during the break.
It’s recommended to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for movement during practical sessions. You’ll be kneeling, bending, and performing resuscitation exercises, so attire such as trousers, t-shirts, and flat shoes are best suited for the activities.
Avoid skirts, restrictive clothing, or heels, as they may make it harder to perform some of the physical tasks. If you have any injuries or health conditions that may affect participation, please inform your instructor beforehand so they can provide suitable adaptations.
Participants of any age can attend a First Aid course to learn basic life-saving skills. However, to receive an officially accredited certificate, you must be at least 16 years old. Those under this age are welcome to join and will receive an attendance certificate acknowledging their participation.
Young attendees often find the sessions highly valuable, giving them confidence and awareness in emergency situations. Although an accredited qualification is reserved for over-16s, the knowledge gained is still essential and can be applied in day-to-day scenarios or youth group settings.
Yes. On-site group training is available for businesses and organisations across London and the UK. Having the instructor come to your location is often more cost-effective and allows your team to train together in a familiar setting.
