This covers the theory for the Level 3 Award in First aid at Work and provides six hours of video based training, where many of the skills are demonstrated, you complete quizzes on the subjects that you have covered. This can be completed in one sitting or if you prefer you stop and start the training to fit in with your other commitments.
