Award in CPR & First Aid – EOSH, UK

The Award in CPR & First Aid – EOSH (UK) is a comprehensive, practical, and competency-based training program designed to equip learners with essential life-saving skills required to respond effectively during medical emergencies. This course provides a strong foundation in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillator (AED) usage, and First Aid management, enabling participants to act confidently and promptly in critical situations.

The program focuses on developing the ability to recognise emergencies, assess risks, and provide immediate care before professional medical assistance arrives. Learners will gain hands-on knowledge of managing a wide range of emergency scenarios, including cardiac arrest, choking, bleeding, burns, fractures, and shock, using internationally accepted first aid practices.

This course follows a structured approach aligned with global safety principles and emphasises the Chain of Survival, ensuring participants understand the importance of early recognition, timely CPR, and rapid defibrillation. It also integrates key aspects of infection prevention, legal and ethical responsibilities, and effective communication, which are critical for safe and professional first aid delivery.

Designed for both workplace and general public settings, the course enhances preparedness, supports compliance with occupational health and safety requirements, and promotes a proactive safety culture. Participants will develop the confidence to respond calmly under pressure, minimise injury severity, and potentially save lives in emergency situations.

Upon successful completion, learners will be able to:

• Apply CPR techniques effectively for adults, children, and infants
• Operate an AED safely and correctly
• Manage common emergencies using structured first aid principles
• Follow the DRSABCD approach for systematic emergency response
• Maintain safety, hygiene, and legal compliance during first aid

This certification is ideal for employees, safety professionals, supervisors, and individuals seeking internationally recognised first aid training aligned with EOSH (UK) standards, contributing to safer workplaces and communities.
