How it works

We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings online courses up to 20% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from First Aid Less, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
When you have completed your order, we will email you with:
- A link to the training portal
- Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
- A PDF of what to do next
If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, https://www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.
If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily at any time by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.
Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the FirstAid4Less website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use. Technical queries or questions regarding the training or content are handled by ProTrainings – call 01206 807587 or email support@protrainings.uk

Testimonials

Here are some positive comments from over 40,000 positive ratings on ProTrainings courses:

A far more convenient way for me to organise first aid training for myself and my employees.

This is an excellent, well presented course that is easily accessible to all. We would recommend it to any small company for their staff without hesitation.

Great cost effective way for small businesses to afford providing training to all members of staff without impacting too much on the day to day running of the business.

HSE Requirements

Health and Safety Executive (HSE) state that all employees should receive certain mandatory training to ensure workplace safety and compliance with legal requirements. This includes basic training on general health and safety principles, including an understanding of workplace hazards, emergency procedures, and reporting incidents, with specific additional training provided depending on roles and risk assessment, such as manual handling, working at height or hazardous substances.

Businesses have a legal obligation to ensure that there is at least one trained first aider.

The number of trained first aiders a business needs depends on several factors, including the size of the workforce, the nature of the work, and specific workplace hazards. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a first aid needs assessment should be conducted to determine the appropriate level of first aid provision.

Here are some general guidelines based on HSE recommendations:

Low-Risk Workplaces (e.g., offices, shops):

Fewer than 25 employees: At least one appointed person.
25 to 50 employees: At least one Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) trained first aider.
More than 50 employees: At least one First Aid at Work (FAW) trained first aider for every 100 employees.

Medium to High-Risk Workplaces (e.g., construction, manufacturing):

Fewer than 5 employees: At least one appointed person.

5 to 50 employees: At least one FAW or EFAW trained first aider, depending on the nature of the injuries that may occur.

More than 50 employees: At least one FAW trained first aider for every 50 employees.

Considerations for All Workplaces

Conducting a thorough first aid needs assessment is essential to ensure compliance with the HSE regulations and to provide adequate first aid provision tailored to your specific workplace circumstances.

With over half a million workers sustaining an injury at work last year and 135 deaths from work-related accidents, meeting training obligations can be the difference between life and death.

Work patterns Ensure adequate coverage during all working hours, considering shifts and absences.
Specific risks Tailor the number and training of first aiders to the specific hazards identified in the workplace.
Remote locations If the workplace is far from emergency services, additional first aiders might be necessary.
