Official Course Overview

Workplace First Aid Course Written Line by Line Against Irish Law

An emergency at work gives you seconds, not minutes. Knowing how to assess a scene, keep yourself safe and act correctly is the difference that matters before an ambulance arrives. This First Aid Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.

High quality video is the reason this first aid course works. You watch each technique performed properly, at full speed and then slowed down, so you can rehearse every response until it feels natural.

Built on
  • General Application Regulations 2007, Part 7
  • Chapter 2, first aid
  • Workplace risk assessment

The three rules that shape your training

  1. Part 7, Chapter 2

    Adequate equipment and trained people

    Employers must provide adequate first aid equipment, a marked and accessible first aid point where required, and enough trained occupational first aiders.

  2. Risk assessment

    How many, and what kind

    The number of first aiders and the equipment needed come from the findings of the workplace risk assessment, not from a fixed formula.

  3. Competence

    Skills have to be demonstrated

    First aid has to be second nature, so every module pairs clear video demonstrations with step by step guidance you can rehearse until each response feels natural.

Customer Reviews

Loved by Thousands First Aiders Across Ireland

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Questions, Answered Plainly

First Aid Course in Ireland, Answered Plainly

The questions workers and employers send us every week about the First Aid Course, the certificate and what the HSA expects, answered without the sales talk.

What does the First Aid Course actually cover?

An emergency at work gives you seconds, not minutes. Knowing how to assess a scene, keep yourself safe and act correctly is the difference that matters before an ambulance arrives. The course takes that risk apart step by step, then shows you the controls that remove it. High quality video is the reason this first aid course works. You watch each technique performed properly, at full speed and then slowed down, so you can rehearse every response until it feels natural.

Is First Aid Training a legal requirement in Ireland?

Part 7, Chapter 2 is the short answer. Employers must provide adequate first aid equipment, a marked and accessible first aid point where required, and enough trained occupational first aiders. Our course is written directly against that wording, which is why it satisfies the duty rather than merely gesturing at it.

How much does the First Aid Course cost?

The First Aid Course is €30.00 per person, and that is the full price. Team bookings get a volume discount applied automatically, with one invoice and one account for all your records.

Can I do the First Aid Course online, on my phone?

Yes, the whole course is online and works on any phone, tablet or laptop. There is no classroom day and no fixed start time: register, log in and begin the First Aid Course whenever it suits you, at home or on a break at work. Progress saves automatically as you go.

How long does the First Aid Course take to complete?

About 1-2 hours, and you do not have to do it in one sitting. Progress saves as you go, so you can stop after a lesson and pick it back up on another device. Your certificate is ready to download the moment you pass.

What certificate do I get, and when do I receive it?

You download your First Aid Course certificate as a PDF the moment you pass the exam, day or night. It shows your name, the course, the date and a verification link, so an employer or inspector can confirm it in seconds. A copy stays in your account whenever you need to print it again.

How long is the certificate valid in Ireland?

Renewal is recommended every three years, in line with current guidance. We track the date for you and send a reminder before it lapses, so no certificate in your team expires without anyone noticing. The refresher is the same short online course, so staying compliant never costs a working day.

What happens if I fail the exam?

Nothing bad. You can retake the exam as many times as you need at no extra cost, and you can revisit any lesson before trying again. Most learners pass first time, because the questions test exactly what the course just taught.

Is the practical assessment included?

This course is assessed by examination rather than by a practical, because the competence it builds is judgement rather than technique. You get unlimited attempts at the exam, at no extra cost.

Can I book this course for my whole team?

Yes, and the platform is built for it. One company account covers every employee, shows you at a glance who has finished and who has not, stores every certificate in one place and gives you a single invoice for the lot. Group bookings get the volume discount applied automatically in your cart.

Will employers and inspectors accept the certificate?

They do. We are an official accredited provider and the certificate carries a verification link an inspector can check in seconds. It is accepted by employers in Ireland, the UK and across the EU, and behind it stand our accreditations: HSA Compliant, QQI Assessed, CPD and RoSPA Accredited.
