England Rugby Emergency First Aid
Since 1 July 2025 England Rugby no longer runs its own face-to-face emergency first aid course. First aiders at rugby activities need a Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work qualification or equivalent. We deliver it at your club, with rugby-specific scenarios.

A short multiple-choice paper completes the assessment. Successful learners receive a nationally recognised, Ofqual-regulated Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, valid for 3 years.
