Workplace Course Comparison

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW): core workplace emergencies, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillator, choking and EpiPen practice; normally one day.
Full First Aid at Work (FAW): those skills plus training in a wider range of injuries and illnesses; three days of learning, with a blended two-days-online/one-day-practical option.
FAW requalification: a separate shorter offer for eligible existing certificate holders, not a first qualification.

Most regular workplaces choose EFAW. Consider full FAW for higher-risk work around machinery or on construction sites, where broader injury training is useful.

Paediatric Course Comparison

Emergency Paediatric First Aid: six hours of core baby and child practical learning.
Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA): twelve hours including wider topics; six hours online plus six hours in person.
Early years cover: designated cover and childminding usually need the full qualification, not simply the shortest attendance.

Both Paediatric courses include EpiPen practice.
