Does First Aid Include EpiPen Training?
Learn which courses include EpiPen practice and when to choose Anaphylaxis Training.
Our core workplace and Paediatric courses include practical EpiPen training.
You can also choose focused anaphylaxis learning when your setting needs more attention on severe allergies.
Practice uses training devices, giving you time to understand the technique and ask questions. Both Emergency Paediatric and full Paediatric First Aid include EpiPen practice.
How Do I Practise Using an EpiPen?
An EpiPen trainer is a practice device, not a live medication dose. Your trainer demonstrates the technique and helps you practise safely.
Device designs can differ. Follow the instructions for the particular device and your current training.
What Do the Core Courses Include?
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), full First Aid at Work (FAW) and both Paediatric courses include practical EpiPen learning alongside other emergency skills. If you also need a specific anaphylaxis certificate, choose the relevant focused course rather than assume every core certificate names that separate award.
When Is Focused Anaphylaxis Training Useful?
A team looking after people with known severe allergies may want extra focus on recognising and responding to anaphylaxis. Our anaphylaxis course offers 90 minutes in person or a one-hour online option.
The online option lets you study the topic at your own pace. Choose the in-person session if you want hands-on practice with a trainer, and check any certificate requirements for your role.
Training for Your School, Nursery or Workplace
Tell us the people your team supports and the situations they want to understand. Private examples can reflect a school, nursery or workplace while retaining the chosen course content.
Keep local allergy plans, device information and emergency arrangements accessible alongside training. Adult and child certificates are a separate choice; this guide explains eligible additions.
