Exciting News: New Basic Life Support Qualifications Coming Soon!
We’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our First Aid qualifications suite. In...
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.
LASER is a member of The First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum (FAAOF). This a group formed to support regulatory requirements for Awarding Organisations/Bodies.
