Overview

The LASER suite of First Aid qualifications comprises four regulated qualifications which have been developed by industry experts. First Aid training is an important life skill and a requirement in many workplaces.  Employers must ensure that someone is always available to arrange first aid. Workplaces with certain levels of health and safety risks are likely to need a trained first aider. Schools, nurseries and other childcare settings are required by law to have a paediatric first aid qualified member of staff available.
