In House First Aid Training – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is in house first aid training?

In house first aid training involves arranging first aid instruction for employees at their own workplace rather than sending staff to an external training venue. It provides a convenient way for businesses to develop emergency response skills and improve workplace safety awareness.

2. What are the benefits of in house first aid training?

In-house training can reduce travel time, minimise disruption and allow groups of employees to learn together. It can also provide opportunities to discuss workplace-specific hazards, emergency procedures and first aid responsibilities.

3. Can first aid training be delivered at our business premises?

Yes, many workplace first aid courses can be delivered at suitable business premises. Availability depends on the training provider, course requirements, group size and facilities available. Contact FMSCS to discuss possible delivery arrangements.

4. Which employees should receive workplace first aid training?

Employers should carry out a first aid needs assessment to determine how many trained first aiders are required and which employees need training. This assessment should consider workplace hazards, staffing levels, shift patterns and the nature of business activities.

5. What subjects are covered during in house first aid courses?

Depending on the course, training may cover CPR, AED awareness, choking, bleeding, shock, burns, fractures and recognising medical emergencies. The exact syllabus and practical assessments will depend on the qualification or training programme selected.

6. How long does in house first aid training take?

Course duration depends on the level of training required. Emergency First Aid at Work is commonly delivered over one day, while First Aid at Work typically involves three days of training. Refresher and awareness programmes may have different durations.

7. Do businesses legally need trained first aiders?

UK employers must provide adequate and appropriate first aid arrangements under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Whether trained first aiders are required, and how many, depends on the findings of the employer’s first aid needs assessment.

8. How often should employees renew their first aid qualifications?

First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work certificates are generally valid for three years. The Health and Safety Executive also strongly recommends annual refresher training to help first aiders maintain their skills and knowledge between formal qualification renewals.

9. Is in house first aid training suitable for small businesses?

Yes. In house first aid training for small businesses can be a practical option where several employees require instruction. However, smaller organisations should consider whether workplace delivery or an alternative training arrangement is more suitable for their staff numbers and budget.

10. How can I arrange in house first aid training with FMSCS?

Contact FMSCS to discuss your organisation’s first aid training requirements, employee numbers and preferred arrangements. We can help you explore suitable course options and clarify availability, practical assessment requirements and certification before booking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used FMSCS for our Fire Safety, First Aid and Insurance/Business Risk Assessment. The level of service provided by Isaac and his team was excellent. They took the whole stress and worry out of the experience and delivered all reports and feedback in a timely manner.  In fact, we had reports to forward to our Insurer the same day.

The First Aid and Fire Safety training was exceptional and has added really value to our business and employees. Everything is delivered on site and tailored to your needs.  Isaac is very knowledgeable and passionate about the training he delivers and that is captivating.

I would 100% recommend FMSCS , their entire approach is friendly, professional and they have your interests at heart from the outset.

Bravo to the whole team and thank you for such a pleasant experience!
