This 3 day course will include both theory and practical sessions, covering the roles and responsibilities of the First Aider; assessing an incident; recognising signs and symptoms of injury and illness; assisting a casualty who is suffering from major injury and illness, chest injuries and anaphylaxis.
The course covers:

This course will be assessed on Day 3, through several individual and group practical and written assessments. All candidates will be advised of the results at the end of the course.
Successful completion of the course and assessments will provide the attendee with a Highfield approved First Aid at Work Certificate valid for 3 years.
The qualification consists of 2 mandatory units which must be completed to successfully achieve the qualification:
- Emergency First Aid in the Workplace
- Recognition and Management of Illness and Injury in the Workplace.
This course will assist Service leavers applying for a variety of roles. Close Protection and Maritime Security companies are now requiring applicants to have a First Aid qualification to be able to manage emergency situations which may arise. Most Employers require first aid trained staff, and the Highfield First Aid At Work will enhance any CV, showing the holder is competent to manage emergency first aid situations in the workplace. First aid training is often required in conjunction with other skills, but greatly enhances employment opportunities and is also considered a useful life skill.
