A Workplace First Aid Level 4 course teaches you how to recognise, assess and respond to first aid emergencies at work, from a minor cut to a collapsed colleague waiting for an ambulance. It’s an online, CPD-accredited course built around 21 modules covering incident management, CPR, AED use, common injuries and mental health first aid.

You’ll learn how to run a primary and secondary survey, manage an incident until help arrives, treat everyday workplace injuries, and understand your legal position as a first aider or appointed person. It’s essential knowledge you can actually picture yourself using: knowing what to check first, what to say when you call 999, and how to keep a casualty safe.

It suits employees, supervisors, appointed persons and anyone with an interest in workplace health and safety, across offices, retail, warehouses, construction and beyond. Workplace accidents don’t wait for a trained first aider to be on shift, so a working understanding of first aid matters for almost everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Level 4 first aid course?

A Level 4 first aid course is advanced first-aid training designed to develop knowledge of emergency response, casualty assessment, CPR, AED use, injury management and workplace first-aid procedures. The exact meaning of “Level 4” depends on the qualification and awarding structure, so learners should check whether a course is regulated before treating it as a regulated Level 4 qualification.

Can I study a Level 4 first aid course online?

Yes. This course is delivered fully online and can be studied at your own pace using a computer, tablet or mobile device. It includes interactive learning materials, tutor support and an online assessment

Do I need previous first-aid qualifications to take this course?

No. No previous first-aid qualification is required for this course. It is designed to be accessible to beginners while also providing useful knowledge for people who already have some first-aid experience.

Will I receive a first aid at work certificate after completing the course?

You receive a CPD certificate after successfully completing the course. However, this should not automatically be described as an HSE-recognised First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificate. Those are specific workplace training categories, and employers should confirm what qualification their workplace requires.

Why is first aid important in the workplace?

First aid ensures immediate response to injuries or illnesses, reducing the severity of incidents and potentially saving lives before professional medical help arrives.

 

Does this course teach CPR and AED use?

Yes. The course includes dedicated modules covering loss of responsiveness, CPR and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). It also covers primary surveys, breathing problems and emergency management.

Is first aid training required by law in UK workplaces?

UK employers have duties under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel based on the circumstances of the workplace. There is no single fixed number of first-aiders that applies to every business; employers should carry out a first-aid needs assessment.

HSE guidance also distinguishes between appointed persons, Emergency First Aid at Work, First Aid at Work and additional training.

Is mental health first aid covered?

Yes — Module 18 covers mental health first aid in the workplace, and Module 21 covers remote psychological first aid.
