Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Qualification
Essential First Aid Training for Low-Risk Workplaces

The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is designed for workplaces with low hazard environments and a smaller number of employees. This one-day course equips learners with the essential skills to provide immediate first aid to someone who becomes ill or injured at work.
