Selecting a First Aid Training Provider
(Information for Employers)
As an employer, you have several options when choosing a First Aid Training Provider. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) does not promote or endorse any specific route — instead, it is your responsibility to select the option that best meets your organisation’s needs and compliance requirements.
Qualisure Awards has developed a comprehensive guide for employers outlining our Quality Assurance framework, standards, guidelines, and the Due Diligence process we apply to all approved Training Providers.
You can view the full document here.
While costs vary among regulatory and approval bodies, independent analysis shows that Qualisure Awards provides one of the most cost-effective, transparent, and credible approval options in the industry — without compromising on quality or compliance.
The chart alongside clearly explains and simplifies the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) GEIS 3 guidance — designed to help employers make informed decisions when selecting a trusted First Aid Training Provider.
