Course Overview

First Aid Course Ireland - Emergency First Aid at Work Online

HSA-Compliant First Aid Training - Available Online in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick & Nationwide

Irish First Aid delivers professional First Aid Training that helps employers and employees across Ireland work safely when first aid, carrying, and moving loads in the workplace.

Our online First Aid Course follows Health and Safety Authority (HSA) guidance. It is built around the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and Chapter 2, Part 7 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (First-Aid). Whether you are taking your first awareness course or refreshing your knowledge, our online training is perfect for workers in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and across Ireland.

Awareness-level course: this online programme is designed to build essential workplace first-aid awareness, induction knowledge, and refresher learning. It does not replace a hands-on practical course. Employers who must designate an Occupational First-Aider under Chapter 2, Part 7 of the General Application Regulations 2007 should ensure those individuals also complete a recognised practical course (PHECC OFA, IRFAA Cardiac First Response, or equivalent) that physically assesses CPR, AED use, and casualty management.
