Emergency First Aid At Work
Non Accredited
Be Prepared for Workplace Emergencies
What's the difference between accredited and non-accredited course?
Accredited and regulated courses and qualifications are not mandatory. It is permissible for individuals to attend a non-accredited course, which does not require the formal assessment of practical skills and knowledge, through observation and completion of a multiple-choice question paper. Accredited qualifications, do require the formal assessment of practical skills and knowledge, in this way. Please see The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

First-aid training
Bodies concerned with delivery of first-aid-at-work training
56 Some first-aid training providers choose to operate through voluntary accreditation schemes whose intention is to set and maintain standards which can help employers meet their legal requirements. These schemes are not mandatory and employers may decide to choose an independent training organisation, but these bodies may help employers select training organisations that offer a standard of training with appropriate content, suitable trainers and assessors, and relevant and robust quality assurance systems.
57 Some training providers offer ‘regulated qualifications. These are nationally recognised and can be obtained from a training centre for an ‘awarding organisation’ (AO). These AOs are recognised by national qualification regulators (Ofqual, SQA or Qualification Wales),* have dedicated policies and quality assurance processes and must approve and monitor their training centres to ensure training meets standards set by the national regulators. The regulators stipulate that AOs and their training centres must work in compliance with the Assessment Principles for First Aid Qualifications – see the SQA website www.sqa.org.uk.
58 Employers may obtain appropriate training from the Voluntary Aid Societies,† who together are acknowledged by HSE as one of the standard-setters for currently accepted first-aid practice (see paragraph 61) as far as they relate to the topics covered in FAW (Appendix 5) and EFAW (Appendix 6) training courses.
59 When an employer selects a training provider, they will need to be confident that the provider will deliver training with appropriate content (ie content identified as being appropriate within the needs assessment, and/or content in line with Appendices 5 and 6), use suitable trainers and assessors, and has relevant and robust quality assurance systems in place.4 (Similar quality standards are expected of all first-aid training providers including non-affiliated, independent first-aid training organisations.) All training providers should be able and prepared to demonstrate how they satisfy these criteria.
