3 Day First Aid Response (FAR)
Our 3 Day First Aid Response course is designed for workplaces and organisations that need a recognised occupational first aid qualification delivered in a practical, supportive way. This course helps participants build the confidence to respond correctly in a real emergency while meeting current workplace first aid requirements in Ireland.
The recognised standard for occupational first aid in Irish workplaces is First Aid Response, and the initial course is based on a 3 day, 18 hour classroom programme. Certification is valid for 2 years, and the learner-to-instructor ratio is capped at 1:8, helping to ensure strong practical support during training.
At Hughes Training, we focus on clear instruction, practical scenarios, and a relaxed training environment so learners feel comfortable asking questions and taking part. We can deliver FAR training onsite at your premises or arrange an external venue, with flexible scheduling options to suit your business, team, or organisation.
