Delivered over 1 day, the course covers the fundamental principles of emergency first aid, including assessing an incident, providing immediate assistance, performing CPR, helping an unconscious casualty, responding to choking and controlling bleeding.
It suits anyone who needs first aid skills at work, and it is the first aid course that SIA licence training for Door Supervisors and Security Guards needs.
Emergency First Aid is the immediate assistance provided to someone who becomes injured or suddenly unwell before professional medical help is available.
The actions taken during the first few minutes of an emergency can be extremely important. This course helps learners understand how to assess an emergency, protect themselves and others, and provide appropriate initial first aid.
Training focuses on practical situations that may occur in workplaces, security environments and other public-facing settings.

Your trainer will explain the appropriate procedures and provide practical instruction so you can develop confidence in applying these skills.
You will learn how to assess and assist an unconscious casualty.
Training covers recognising an unconscious casualty, checking their condition, monitoring breathing and using an appropriate recovery position where required.
You will also learn the importance of continuing to monitor the casualty until emergency medical assistance arrives.
A blocked airway can quickly become a serious medical emergency.
During your first aid training, you will learn how to recognise the signs of choking and understand the appropriate actions to take when assisting a casualty.
The course helps you understand when an obstruction may be mild or severe and when further emergency assistance is required.
The course covers how to respond to wounds and bleeding safely and effectively.

These skills can be particularly important in workplaces and public-facing environments where injuries may occur unexpectedly.
You will learn how to recognise signs that may indicate shock and understand the immediate first aid actions that may be required.
The training also covers responding appropriately when someone experiences a seizure, including protecting the casualty from further injury and knowing when emergency medical assistance should be requested.
Emergency First Aid is a practical subject, so the course is designed to help you develop skills that can be applied in real situations.
Your trainer will demonstrate appropriate first aid procedures and give you the opportunity to practise relevant techniques.
Practical learning may include:
This combination of knowledge and practical training helps learners develop greater confidence when responding to emergencies.
Emergency First Aid training is suitable for people working across a wide range of industries and workplaces.

Emergency First Aid is particularly important for people entering certain SIA-licensed security roles.
Learners on Door Supervisor or Security Guard training need an appropriate first aid qualification as part of their SIA licence-linked training.
The Emergency First Aid course is already part of every Door Supervisor and Security Guard course we list, and every Door Supervisor and Security Guard refresher. It is taught on day one as a half-day session in the morning, so you do not need to book it separately. Book this course on its own if you are training somewhere that leaves first aid out, or if you need first aid cover at work.
