Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work Course

Correct workplace safety begins with the necessary knowledge, preparation and action. Our Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work course is a one-day, classroom-based programme designed to teach essential first aid skills, helping staff members manage emergency situations confidently and competently.

It equips emergency responders with the ability to assess incidents, treat minor injuries, and support individuals who are unresponsive until professional medical help arrives. This course is ideal for low-risk commercial settings where first aid at work remains a legal and operational priority.

As an employer or responsible person, ensuring your employees have access to recognised first aid training is part of your health and safety duty. This qualification supports full compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance and first aid requirements in the UK.

Firelink delivers certified Emergency First Aid training across the UK. Book your course today to stay compliant.

Our Emergency First Aid Level 3 Training

Firelink delivers this emergency first aid at work course in person across commercial industries in the UK. It is structured around the essential requirements for managing time-critical incidents in low-risk environments, enabling teams to respond efficiently while maintaining a calm and pragmatic approach.

Practical and Legal Foundations

The course begins with a deep dive into the legal and operational responsibilities of a first aider in the workplace. Delegates are taught how to assess a situation, report effectively and maintain high standards of hygiene when delivering first aid at work.

All first aid learners leave with a solid foundation in identifying risks and taking decisive action aligned with HSE-approved practices. They also gain confidence in manoeuvring the recovery position, delivering adult resuscitation and knowing when to escalate to professional medical intervention.

The training helps learners respond effectively in high-pressure scenarios, confidently making decisions while awaiting further help.

Who Should Attend This Course?

This work training course is specifically designed for those in low-risk workplaces such as offices, shops, educational facilities and residential care settings. It is ideal for individuals nominated to become the designated first aider, as well as for businesses looking to meet their employer’s responsibility for health provision and incident response.


Firelink supports organisations across the UK in fulfilling their legal first aid requirements, whether driven by internal risk assessments, insurance expectations or audits. This course is often selected to support SIA licence applications and general business adherence under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
