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

Which First Aid Course Does Your Business Need?
The level of first aid provision required depends on your organisation’s first aid needs assessment, considering factors such as:
- Number of employees
- Nature of workplace hazards

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?

We understand operational demands vary between organisations and can often accommodate alternative delivery arrangements where required.

I attended an Emergency First Aid & Forestry training day in Devon today. Toby was excellent: very confident, experienced, knowledgeable and engaging. I went from knowing very little about emergency first aid to feeling much more confident. I would recommend Optimal First Aid to everyone!Posted on Google![]()

Really good one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course with Optimal First Aid. Practical, clear and engaging from start to finish. The instructor kept everything simple and hands-on, with plenty of practice so you actually feel more confident dealing with an emergency at work. I left the course feeling prepared rather than just “certified”. Would definitely recommend and book with them again.Posted on Google![]()
