JAFO First Aid Training helps employees develop a structured response to workplace injuries and medical emergencies. The programme combines clear theory with practical exercises and should be selected according to the organisation’s risk profile, learner needs and the verified approval scope of the course being offered.
Who should attend
- Employees designated or being considered as workplace first aiders.
- Supervisors, safety representatives and emergency-team members.
- Employees working on shifts, at remote sites or in higher-risk environments.
- Corporate groups that need planned first-aid coverage across departments or branches.
What the training covers
Course content is confirmed for the selected level and may include scene safety, initial assessment, activating emergency services, managing an unconscious or non-breathing casualty, bleeding control, shock, burns, fractures and common medical emergencies. Practical demonstrations, learner practice and assessment methods depend on the booked programme.
Workplace first-aid planning
Training is only one part of readiness. Employers should provide accessible first-aid equipment, appoint enough trained people for normal working hours and consider shifts, leave, dispersed work areas and workplace hazards. General Safety Regulation 3 contains important workplace first-aid requirements.
Delivery options
JAFO can discuss scheduled learner places, private group training and on-site delivery in Johannesburg, Gauteng and other South African locations by arrangement. Venue suitability, practical equipment, learner numbers and travel requirements are confirmed before booking. See our training delivery options.
Certification and validity
The certificate type, issuing entity, assessment requirements and validity period must be stated in the written course quotation. JAFO does not make a blanket accreditation or three-year-validity claim for every first-aid programme. Employers should verify the exact course scope and maintain expiry dates in their training matrix.

Frequently asked questions
Can JAFO train a corporate group on site?
On-site delivery can be arranged where the venue, equipment and learner numbers support the selected programme.
Does every course issue the same certificate?
No. Certificate type and status depend on the booked programme, issuing arrangement and successful completion requirements.
How often should employees refresh first-aid skills?
Track the certificate’s stated validity and any client or sector requirement. Earlier refresher practice may be appropriate after incidents or long periods without skills practice.
