Our instructors can adapt practical exercises and casualty scenarios to reflect the risks and challenges your employees may encounter in their specific workplace.
Benefits include:
- Consistent training standards across your team
- Workplace-specific learning
- Greater flexibility around business operations
- Improved team confidence during emergencies
- Better value when training multiple employees

If you’re unsure whether your organisation requires EFAW or FAW training, we are happy to provide guidance.

FAQ
Is in-house first aid training HSE compliant?
Yes. Our Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW) qualifications meet recognised workplace first aid requirements.
What facilities do we need to provide?
A suitable room with seating, presentation space and enough floor space for practical exercises is usually sufficient.
Is in-house training more cost-effective?
For many organisations, training multiple employees onsite is significantly more cost-effective than sending individuals to separate public courses.
Can training be delivered outside normal working hours?
We understand operational demands vary between organisations and can often accommodate alternative delivery arrangements where required.
Which course does my business need?
The appropriate level of training depends on your first aid needs assessment, workplace hazards and the number of employees. We are happy to discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable option.
EXCELLENT Based on 268 reviews Posted on Jo McGainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to find a good FREC3 training in the south west. Toby is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and teaches clearly with loads of useful practice. I learnt a huge amount and left feeling confident in my new skills. Thank you!Posted on Gabrielle WoodingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great training course, the best in the South West and Devon. Very friendly, knowledgeable trainers. Gave me confidence to work in first aid in the future.Posted on Ash WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent FREC 3 course in Southwest Devon by Optimal First Aid. Will return to renew qualification in the future. Highly recommended.Posted on Alan LowethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just attended the Emergency Outdoor First Aid Course run by Toby. I've done First Aid at Work Training before and my Emergency First Aid at Work qualification is still in date. The Outdoor Course was a great refresher, but I also learnt a lot more that's relevant for my current conservation volunteering. Toby delivered a full-day course which included lots of practical exercises and left plenty of time to practice the various techniques. He kept everyone's attention for the whole day which was quite an achievement and I'd recommend Optimal First Aid to anyone who is looking for an engaging trainer who will draw on their own experience but put the focus on the training needs of the attendees.Posted on Robert ChristieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
