First Aid Training Course – Level 3

Under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, UK employers must provide adequate first aid cover appropriate to the size and risk level of their workplace. This Level 3 course meets the competency standard expected of a designated workplace first aider, covering everything from emergency medical care and trauma response to incident reporting and legal compliance — making it fully aligned with HSE guidance.

Yes. This course is specifically designed to equip you with the knowledge and competence required to take on the role of a designated first aider in a UK workplace. Upon completion, you’ll hold a CPD accredited Level 3 certificate that is recognised by employers across all sectors and can be used to formally fulfil your organisation’s first aid duty of care.

By the end of this course, you’ll be confident responding to a wide range of serious emergencies — including anaphylaxis and auto-injector use, seizures and epilepsy management, stroke (using the FAST test), diabetic collapse, fractures, spinal injuries, heavy bleeding, head trauma, crush injuries, and embedded objects. You’ll also know how to manage the scene, coordinate with emergency services, and document incidents correctly.

Yes — and this is one of the things that sets this Level 3 course apart from many others. Module 4 includes an introduction to psychological first aid and mental health awareness in emergency situations. It recognises that not all workplace emergencies are physical, and that a competent first aider needs to be prepared to support colleagues experiencing psychological distress as well as physical injury.

The course ends with an online assessment designed to test your understanding across all five modules. It’s straightforward in format and focuses on applying what you’ve learned rather than memorising definitions. If you don’t pass first time, there’s no penalty — you can retake as many times as needed, and you’re encouraged to revisit any module beforehand to strengthen your knowledge.

Yes. This is a CPD accredited qualification developed by qualified first aid and emergency care professionals in line with current UK standards. It is widely accepted by employers across construction, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, security, and the public sector. If your workplace is subject to HSE inspections, this certificate demonstrates that your first aiders hold a recognised, professionally developed qualification.

Yes — and this is one of the reasons so many learners choose Training Express. The course is entirely self-paced with no deadlines, fixed sessions, or live attendance requirements.
