First Aid at Work vs Emergency First Aid at Work: which course do you need?

What is the difference?

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) focuses on emergency first aid. First Aid at Work (FAW) includes that syllabus and extends to a wider range of specific injuries and illnesses.

Why we recommend First Aid at Work Level 3

The full FAW route offers more comprehensive workplace first-aid skills and is particularly useful for higher-risk work. Choose our First Aid at Work Level 3 course if you want broader preparation for workplace incidents. Your employer’s first-aid needs assessment remains the basis for choosing appropriate training.
