First Aid
PHECC-accredited Occupational First Aid (OFA) certification covering emergency response and life-saving skills.
About This Course
The Occupational First Aid (OFA) qualification is the standard workplace first aid certification in Ireland, regulated by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC). It is required by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 for designated first aiders in the workplace.
Our OFA programme is delivered by PHECC-registered tutors and covers a comprehensive range of emergency scenarios, equipping participants with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in a workplace emergency.
On successful completion of both the practical and theory assessments, participants receive a PHECC-issued OFA certificate.
