Emergency First Aid at Work Course for SIA

Our 1-Day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Course in Glasgow meets the minimum first aid training requirements for obtaining an SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence. If you're applying for a front-line SIA licence in roles such as security guarding, door supervision, or CCTV operation, completing an EFAW course is a mandatory component of the application process.

This accredited training provides the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to:

• Respond to common incidents in public-facing roles
• Deliver CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
• Handle emergency situations confidently and effectively

Upon successful completion, you will receive an FAIB-approved certificate, recognised across the UK, which satisfies the SIA’s first aid criteria. It’s a critical step towards becoming licensed and legally able to work in the private security industry.

Why Train With Us?

Our practical, engaging course is led by qualified first aid trainers who bring real-world experience into the classroom. You’ll learn essential, potentially life-saving techniques—from CPR and using an AED to handling common injuries—ensuring you're ready to step in when it matters most.

What You’ll Learn

This hands-on training session will prepare you to deal with a wide variety of incidents, including:

• Minor injuries (cuts, grazes, burns, and splinters)
• Choking emergencies
• Severe bleeding and wound management
• Anaphylaxis and shock
• Heart-related incidents (heart attack, angina, stroke)
• Asthma and diabetic emergencies
• Fractures and unconscious casualties

Assessment & Certification

You’ll be assessed through practical demonstrations during the course. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) approved certificate—valid for three years—certifying you as a qualified emergency first aider.

Is This Course Right for Your Team?

If you’re unsure whether your business requires a first aider, conducting a First Aid Needs Assessment can help. It’s generally advised to have at least one trained individual per location, shift, or department—especially during holidays or absences.
