The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is the minimum that anyone in a working environment should achieve.

Changes to Forestry Commission policy recommends those who work in the forestry industry should attend first aid training that covers additional topics relevant to the risk associated with their work.

We are offering a combined EFAW+F course which covers all of the standard syllabus in EFAW and the additional areas recommended by the Forestry Commission for +F.

Please see the links below for further information about these courses.
