Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, state that all employers must assess the need and supply appropriate first aid provision – this one day Emergency First Aid at Work course meets with this regulation. Although anyone can be ‘appointed’ – will they have the knowledge to effectively prevent injuries becoming worse, promote recovery and preserve life?

This course is delivered by Bolton based Bright Direction Training.  Bright Direction Training has a strong focus on social value we have chosen to support the community and voluntary sector through provision of training for volunteers and staff to give them qualifications to support their roles and benefit the wider community.

Assessment

In order to gain the accreditation, learners are required to pass two assessments.  A practical assessment and a multiple choice theory assessment.  If you feel you need any reasonable adjustments to support you to do this, please let us know on your registration form and discuss this with the training provider during your initial assessment. 

Onboarding

All learners must undergo an initial assessment conducted by the training provider to ensure the course is suitable for their needs.  This will be in the form of a short (5-10 minute) phone call.  We will share your name and contact details with Bright Direction for this purpose. They will use this information for this purpose only and will not share it with any third parties. 

If a phone call is difficult for you, the training provider can alternatively meet you at The Bolton Hub if you wish.  Please let us know on your registration form is this an adjustment that we can make for you. 

This assessment includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of language proficiency (a minimum level 1 in English is advised) and any additional support requirements.

While we are committed to making our courses as inclusive and accessible as possible, there may be instances where the training provider determines that they are unable to safely and effectively meet a participant’s specific needs or provide necessary adjustments.  In such cases, the training provider reserves the right to withdraw a learner’s registration from the course.

Should this occur, we will provide a full refund.
