Emergency First Aid at Work Course FAQs

Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is VideoTile’s online annual refresher, approved by IIRSM, the Institute of Hospitality and CPD (4 CPD units). It explains what first aid is and highlights some of the most common situations you might come across and the actions you can take to help, from CPR and AEDs to bleeding, shock and other workplace injuries. It is a knowledge refresher, not a practical Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

This online annual refresher is for anyone who wants to keep their emergency first aid knowledge current, in any sector and in organisations of any size. It is particularly useful if you have already completed practical first aid training and want an annual update. If you need to act as a workplace first aider, you will usually also need a practical, in-person Emergency First Aid at Work course.

The course is split into 16 modules: What is First Aid?; Barriers, ABCDs and the recovery position; CPR and AEDs; Choking; Bleeding; Shock; Spinal Injuries; Breaks; Head Injuries; Sprains; Managing an Incident and Record Keeping; Burns and Scalds; Electric Shock; Eye Injuries; Anaphylaxis and Diabetes; and Heart Attack and Stroke. Each module has a 70% pass mark.

Yes. This Emergency First Aid at Work course is delivered 100% online through video-based e-learning, with no classroom attendance needed. You can pause and resume when it suits you and complete the modules at your own pace — ideal for busy teams across Birmingham and the wider Midlands. Because it is fully online, it is a knowledge refresher rather than the practical training usually needed to act as a workplace first aider.

The course contains around 150 minutes of video content. Allow a little extra time for the module questions, and because it is online you can spread the learning across shorter sessions that fit around your work.

Each of the 16 modules ends with questions that need a 70% pass mark, so everything is completed online at your own pace.

This course is VideoTile’s online annual refresher, so it is designed to be taken yearly to keep emergency first aid knowledge current. It does not replace the practical Emergency First Aid at Work training usually needed to act as a workplace first aider.

Pricing depends on whether you buy a single seat or train a larger team. You can start with a free trial to preview the course content before purchasing — no obligation.
