First Aid Courses
Highfield accredited first aid e-learning for workplace first aiders, taken online in your own time.
Workplace first aid
Two courses, matching the two workplace first aid qualifications. Each is online theory that counts towards the classroom course, and is a good refresher between courses.
EFAW or FAW: which do you need?
Your first aid needs assessment decides it. As a rule, lower risk workplaces such as offices and shops can rely on EFAW, while construction sites, workshops and other higher risk workplaces usually need FAW.

October 2025Common questions
Is an online first aid course enough to be a workplace first aider?
Not on its own. HSE expects workplace first aiders to be trained and assessed in practical skills such as CPR in person. These e-learning courses cover the theory: EFAW e-learning can replace 2 hours of the one day EFAW course, and FAW e-learning can replace 1 day of the three day FAW course.
How long do the courses take?
Emergency First Aid at Work takes two to three hours. First Aid at Work takes four to five hours. You can stop and start as often as you like.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You receive a Highfield e-learning certificate to download as soon as you pass.
How many first aiders does my workplace need?
It depends on your risks and the number of people on site, which your first aid needs assessment works out. Our guide to first aider numbers walks through it.
Can I book first aid training for a team?
Yes. See health and safety training for employers for team plans, or call 0203 345 6575.
