Call 07771 680794 for a free quote and a straight answer on which course your workplace needs. ## Course Overview First Aid at Work is the three-day workplace qualification, and it is the one most Maidenhead employers need when a risk assessment shows that a one-day course will not cover the hazards on site. It is accredited by FAIB, it carries a three-year certificate, and it is recognised by HSE, Ofsted and the DfE. ### What the qualification covers The First Aid at Work course runs over three days, delivered at your premises, with a maximum of 12 delegates per course so that every learner gets hands-on time with the manikins and the equipment. The syllabus covers the full workplace first aider role: primary survey, CPR and defibrillator use, unresponsive casualties, choking, shock, wounds and bleeding, burns, fractures and dislocations, head and spinal injuries, and a set of medical emergencies including diabetes, asthma, anaphylaxis, seizures and stroke. Life-threatening bleed control, including catastrophic haemorrhage and tourniquet and haemostatic dressing use, is now trained on every course we run. ### Who the three-day course is for FAW suits higher-risk workplaces and any site where a first aider may be working alone with a casualty for several minutes before an ambulance arrives: workshops, warehouses, construction sites, manufacturing, care settings, larger offices with multiple floors. Where a risk assessment identifies a lower-risk environment, the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course is usually the correct choice, and we will say so rather than sell you three days you do not need. The [Health and Safety Executive](https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/firstaid/first-aid-training.htm) (HSE) sets out in its first aid guidance that the level of provision follows from the employer's own assessment of need. ### Who delivers the training Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training is run by Rebecca Sullivan, and our trainers are in-house. We do not outsource to a freelance pool, so the person standing in your meeting room is one of our own team, working to our lesson plans and our assessment standards. Between them our trainers hold over 50 years of combined experience in first aid and emergency response, and that shows in the scenario work more than anywhere else. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 to book First Aid at Work in Maidenhead at your own premises, with up to 12 delegates per course and a free written quote.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## Workplace and On-Site Training All of our training is delivered at your premises. We do not run open courses for individual delegates and we do not ask your staff to travel to a training centre, which means no lost half-days on the road and no scheduling around someone else's diary. ### What we need from your site A room with enough clear floor space for delegates to kneel and work on a manikin is the practical requirement, roughly two square metres per learner once the equipment is laid out. We bring adult, child and infant manikins, an AED trainer unit, bandages, dressings, tourniquet trainers and the course paperwork. Power for a laptop and a wall or screen for the projected material helps, though the trainer can work without it. Our [first aid at work services](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/first-aid-training/first-aid-at-work/) are built around fitting into a working building rather than the other way round. ### Covering the whole of Maidenhead We train across the town and the surrounding areas, from the Victorian and 1920s to 1930s streets around the town centre and Grenfell Park to the modern estates on the outskirts, and the mixed age of the building stock genuinely changes the access planning: stair widths, corridor turns and where a stretcher or an AED can realistically be carried differ street by street. The Chiltern Estate between Maidenhead and Bray, with its detached 1950s and 1960s family houses, is a different proposition again from a first-floor office above a shop on the high street. If you need first aid at work in Maidenhead or [a paediatric first aid course in Maidenhead](https://www.aim2aid.co.uk/resources/paediatric-first-aid-course-maidenhead/), we cover the whole area, including Belmont, Boyn Hill, Cox Green and Pinkneys Green. ### Group bookings for your staff Because the cap is 12 delegates, larger employers usually book consecutive cohorts rather than one oversized session. Splitting a 24-person team into two courses on separate weeks also keeps cover on the floor while training runs. For your business, that is normally the difference between compliant provision and a rota gap. ## Course Content and Practical Skills for Maidenhead Homes Much of the practical content transfers directly from the workplace to a domestic setting, and delegates who live locally tend to notice that during the scenario sessions. ### The practical skills sequence Practical assessment follows a fixed order so that learners build one skill on the last: - Scene survey and primary survey using the DR ABC sequence - Opening and maintaining an airway, and placing an unresponsive breathing casualty into the recovery position - Adult CPR at 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths, compressions 5 to 6 cm deep at 100 to 120 per minute - Safe deployment of an AED, including pad placement and shock delivery - Choking management: back blows and abdominal thrusts - Catastrophic bleed control: direct pressure, haemostatic dressing packing, tourniquet application high and tight - Secondary survey, injury management and casualty handover to the ambulance service Each step is demonstrated, practised and then assessed under observation, and the order matters because a first aider who reaches for a tourniquet before checking an airway has the sequence wrong. ### Older housing stock and access Maidenhead's period terraces and cottages have narrow stairs and tight landings, and a casualty collapsed on a first-floor landing in a Victorian terrace cannot be moved the way a casualty in an open-plan modern flat can. We build that into the scenarios where the site allows it: casualty position, where the AED is stored, and who meets the ambulance at the door. ### Outdoor and public-facing work Teams working around Kidwells Park, which has held Green Flag status since 2012, or across Grenfell Park, Braywick Nature Park and Desborough Park, face a different set of variables: weather, distance from a vehicle, and public onlookers. Riverside work near the 18th-century road bridge, Brunel's Sounding Arch, Ray Mill Island and Boulter's Lock adds heritage constraints and high footfall. Scenario work reflects that where it is relevant to your staff. ## Training Duration and Certification Duration and certificate validity are the two details most often checked by insurers, so they are worth stating plainly. ### Hours and structure First Aid at Work runs over three days. Emergency First Aid at Work runs over one day, about six hours, for up to 12 delegates, and carries the same three-year certificate. Both are FAIB accredited. Our mental health courses are accredited by FAA, which is a separate body and a separate qualification route. ### Blended delivery as an option Blended delivery is available where it suits your rota: the theory is completed online in advance and the practical assessment is delivered at your venue. For Emergency First Aid at Work that means the classroom element compresses while the course remains a one-day, roughly six-hour qualification for up to 12 delegates with the same three-year certificate and the same compliance standing. For the three-day FAW, blended delivery reduces contact time on site without reducing the assessed practical content. ### Certification and requalification Certificates are valid for three years from the date of assessment. HSE recommends annual refresher training during that period to keep skills current. Requalification should be booked before the expiry date; letting a certificate lapse means starting the full course again rather than a shorter renewal. ## Booking a Place in Maidenhead Booking is a short process and it starts with a conversation about your risk assessment rather than a checkout page. ### The booking sequence Call 07771 680794 and tell us the number of delegates, the type of work they do and your postcode. We confirm which course your assessment points to, agree a date, confirm the room requirement and issue a written quote. Quotes are free. On the day, the trainer arrives ahead of the start time to set up, and certificates follow after successful assessment. ### Speaking to us directly Rebecca leads the training team, and she or one of our trainers will take the call.

Whether you need first aid at work in Maidenhead or first aid at work services Oxford, we cover the whole area and the same in-house trainers deliver it. ### Delivery standards Every course runs to the FAIB syllabus with the delegate cap of 12 observed strictly. That cap is not administrative: it is what makes individual practical assessment possible inside the course hours. ## First Aid at Work Qualification FAW is the fuller of the two workplace qualifications and the one most often specified by insurers for higher-risk sites. ### Assessment criteria Learners are assessed continuously across the three days by practical observation and by written question papers. There are no entry qualifications, though delegates need enough English to follow the material and enough physical mobility to kneel and perform compressions on a floor-level manikin. Tell us in advance if a delegate needs an adjustment and we will plan for it. ### Accountability behind the certificate Aim2Aid Ltd is registered at 70 Fountain Gardens, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 3SX, company number 16319053. Accreditation sits with FAIB for the first aid courses. Our reviews are published through the reviews widget on the site if you want to read what other employers in Berkshire have said before you book. ## Emergency First Aid at Work Course EFAW is the one-day qualification for lower-risk workplaces and it is the right answer for a good number of Maidenhead offices, shops and small studios. ### Format and content One day, about six hours, up to 12 delegates, FAIB accredited, three-year certificate. Content covers the first aider's role, primary survey, CPR and AED use, unresponsive casualties, choking, shock, minor injuries, burns and life-threatening bleed control. ### Paediatric content included at no extra cost We include paediatric first aid content within our EFAW delivery at no additional charge. For a workplace with a creche, a customer-facing site where children are present, or staff who are parents, that is practical cover that would otherwise be a separate booking. **Call Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training on 07771 680794 to book First Aid at Work in Maidenhead at your own premises, with up to 12 delegates per course and a free written quote.** [Call Now: 07771 680794](tel:07771680794) ## People Also Ask: First Aid at Work in Maidenhead ### How much does a First Aid at Work course cost in Maidenhead?
