One of the main ways of deciding which course you should take is by assessing your work environment. Choosing the right training course is especially relevant in a busy working environment.
People generally perceive offices, cafes and small shops as low risk. If you work in a larger store, the risk becomes higher due to increased people working and visiting.
Health & safety personnel would consider workplaces with multiple floors and departments as high risk. They would also class workplaces with operations constantly running through day and night with many workers, and the public present the risks as high.
The difference between emergency first aid and standard first aid is that Emergency First Aid is 1-day of training, whereas First Aid at Work is 3-days.
