The Concise First Aid Made Easy Book is a clear and practical first aid guide designed to support both Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW) training. It covers all required learning outcomes for the First Aid at Work qualification, while using a unique colour-coded layout to clearly identify which topics apply to EFAW and FAW courses. This makes it an ideal learning and reference resource across both training contexts.
