First Aid training and First Aid courses from ITG qualified instructors
Accredited, on-site first aid training for organisations of all sizes – delivered in-person or via blended learning, across all sectors and throughout the UK, including first aid training in Milton Keynes.
Why is First Aid training required?
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 requires all workplaces to provide adequate first aid provision – including having a sufficient number of staff trained in first aid.
The level of first aid training required depends on a first aid needs assessment, which considers the nature of the work, the size of the workforce, the layout of the premises, and proximity to emergency services. As a general guide, the HSE recommends at least one EFAW trained person in low-hazard workplaces with 25 or more employees, and in higher-hazard workplaces with 5 or more employees.
Failure to provide adequate first aid provision is a breach of the 1981 Regulations and can result in HSE enforcement action.

Blended learning First Aid courses
All of our first aid courses can be delivered as fully in-person or as blended learning – a combination of online self-paced study and classroom-based practical training. Blended learning first aid training offers several advantages for organisations:
Less classroom time
Easier to plan training around operational requirements and release staff to attend.
Self-paced study
Learners complete online modules at a time and pace that suits them, before the practical session.
More cost-effective
Blended learning first aid training is typically more cost-effective than fully face-to-face delivery
