Anaphylaxis First Aid and Adrenaline Auto Injectors at Ireland Safety Training: accredited online emergency first aid training with instant certificate for Ireland

Anaphylaxis First Aid and Adrenaline Auto Injectors

The signs of anaphylaxis, how and where to use an EpiPen or Jext, positioning, the second dose and why every case goes to hospital.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly developing allergic reaction that can kill within minutes, most often triggered by food, insect stings, medicines or latex. Adrenaline is the only first line treatment and it works best when given early. Workplaces, schools, kitchens and sports clubs increasingly hold auto injectors, and every first aider should be able to recognise the reaction and use one without hesitation.

A Word Between Friends

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have was written by a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They all live on Google Maps, where we can't edit, delete or hide a single word. Now we hold the No.1 spot across the whole of Ireland, with the best reputation in the country and more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review. One last thing, friend to friend: scammers have started copying our company name and registering look-alike domains that use "Ireland Safety" or "Irish" in the name. Those websites are not us. Please be careful, and check the reviews on Google Maps before you trust.

Instead of losing a day to a classroom, learners in Ireland complete the full accredited training online, in about 2-3 hours, from home or straight from the workplace.

Local employers know exactly what they are looking at when your certificate arrives: CPD Certified, RoSPA approved, HSA aligned training from a provider used by businesses across every county in Ireland.

At Ireland Safety Training, our premium online emergency first aid training is designed for absolute flexibility, so you can complete your learning from home, at work, or on the move. The first aid course combines HD video, clear demonstrations and interactive questions that make CPR, choking response and bleeding control genuinely simple to understand and remember. You move through the first aid training at your own pace, pausing and resuming whenever you need, on any device you own.

The full syllabus covers everything the HSA expects from workplace first aid knowledge: the primary survey, CPR and AED awareness, choking, wounds and bleeding, burns and scalds, shock, fainting and common medical emergencies, plus how to hand over cleanly to paramedics. Every module uses realistic scenarios from Irish workplaces and homes, so the lessons feel practical rather than theoretical.

Because the platform is cloud based, there is nothing to install and your progress is saved automatically. Whether you are a nominated workplace first aider or a parent who wants to be ready for anything, the whole experience is smooth, fast and genuinely confidence building.

Classroom first aid courses mean travel, lost work days and venue fees. Our online emergency first aid course eliminates all of it. Your team completes the training from home, from the office or from any internet connected device, with no need to wait for specific training dates in Dublin, Cork or anywhere else in Ireland. You can enrol at any time and start the first aid training immediately.

Employers use our first aid course online to keep whole teams emergency ready while meeting HSA requirements. Simple dashboards and instant reporting let managers track every completion and prove compliance to auditors within seconds. Combined with our automatic bulk discounts, this is by far the most cost effective accredited first aid training in Ireland.

There are no hidden fees at any point. The price you see includes full course access, unlimited assessment retakes and the instant first aid certificate. One honest price, everything included.

Our self-paced first aid course is ideal for people working full time, on shift patterns or balancing family life. You can pause and resume modules on any device, making it easy to complete your emergency first aid training in smaller sessions that fit around real work. This flexible approach helps learners stay focused, retain more information and complete the certification without pressure or strict deadlines.

The platform clearly tracks your progress so you always know how much of the first aid course is complete and how close you are to your certificate. Some learners finish in one focused sitting of about 2-3 hours; others spread it across two or three relaxed sessions. Either way, the pace is entirely yours.

Managers can assign the first aid training to staff and trust that everyone can fit it around daily tasks without disrupting operations, which is exactly why Irish employers keep coming back to us year after year.

As soon as you pass the assessment, your digital first aid certificate is generated instantly and ready to download or print. The certification is aligned with Irish legislation and current resuscitation guidelines, giving you a recognised first aid qualification accepted across Ireland, the UK and Europe.

Because your first aid certificate is stored securely in your account, you can re-download it anytime you need proof of training, during an audit, a job application, a tender or an insurance renewal. Every certificate carries a unique verification code so employers and insurers can confirm it is authentic in seconds.

For individuals, the first aid certificate is one of the most universally valued credentials you can hold, because every employer, every team and every family benefits from someone who knows exactly what to do in an emergency.

Every module of our emergency first aid course is written by licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) health and safety consultants with NFQ Level 6 and QQI Level 6 qualifications, following current Irish and European resuscitation guidelines. You are not learning from a random voiceover; you are learning from some of the most qualified safety professionals in the country.

The first aid training blends clear theory, HD video, realistic scenarios and interactive quizzes. You will see exactly how to perform the primary survey, how to do effective chest compressions, how to help a choking adult, how to control serious bleeding and how to treat burns correctly in the first minutes. Clear demonstrations make every technique memorable when it matters most.

The content is reviewed regularly against the latest guidelines and HSA guidance, so the first aid course you take today always reflects current best practice.

With Ireland Safety Training you receive 24/7 access to your emergency first aid course, so learning is always available when you are ready. Complete your first aid training during quiet periods on shift, from home in the evening or on the weekend, whatever suits your schedule best.

The learning platform automatically saves your progress, meaning you can log in from any device and continue exactly where you left off. Workers on nights, weekends or remote sites get the same premium experience as everyone else, every day of the year.

You can also revisit any module anytime during your access period, so a quick refresher on CPR or choking response is always one tap away, turning the first aid course into a living resource rather than a one off event.

Ireland Safety Training has earned the trust of over 749,500 learners across Ireland, the United Kingdom and Europe, making us one of the most established providers of workplace safety training in the region. Every day, new learners join us to complete the emergency first aid course alongside Fire Safety, Fire Warden, Manual Handling and dozens of other accredited programmes.

From Dublin to Cork, Galway to Limerick, Waterford to Belfast, our first aid training has helped create workplaces where someone always knows what to do.

Businesses return year after year because our first aid course delivers results: consistent compliance, clean reporting and certificates that every employer recognises instantly.

Every Irish workplace needs trained first aiders, and the HSA expects enough of them to cover every shift, site and department. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 makes first aid arrangements a core employer duty, sized by your risk assessment.

In real life, the people who complete our emergency first aid course are nominated workplace first aiders, office and warehouse staff, construction workers, hospitality and retail teams, teachers, creche and care workers, coaches, security staff, drivers and parents who want life saving skills at home as well as at work.

Essential Knowledge

Anaphylaxis First Aid and Adrenaline Auto Injectors

The signs of anaphylaxis, how and where to use an EpiPen or Jext, positioning, the second dose and why every case goes to hospital.

Recognising anaphylaxis

Suspect anaphylaxis when a sudden illness involves the airway, breathing or circulation, usually with skin changes: swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a hoarse voice or difficulty swallowing; wheeze, persistent cough or struggling to breathe; pale, clammy skin, a fast weak pulse, dizziness or collapse; widespread hives, flushing or itching. Symptoms typically appear within minutes of exposure. A known allergy plus any breathing or circulation sign is anaphylaxis until proven otherwise.

Using the auto injector

Call 112 or 999 and say anaphylaxis. Use the casualty's own auto injector if they have one, or the emergency device where the workplace holds one; the adult dose is 300 micrograms, the child dose for 15 to 30 kg is 150 micrograms. Remove the safety cap, press the tip firmly into the outer thigh, through clothing if necessary, and hold for the time the device specifies, three seconds for EpiPen, ten seconds for Jext. Note the time. If there is no improvement after five minutes, give a second injector if one is available. Never inject into a vein, buttock, or through a pocket with objects in it.

Positioning and afterwards

Lie the person flat with legs raised if they feel faint or their circulation is failing; sit them up if breathing is the main problem; place a pregnant woman on her left side. Do not let them stand or walk, even if they say they feel better; sudden standing after anaphylaxis has caused cardiac arrest. Everyone treated for anaphylaxis goes to hospital by ambulance, because a second wave reaction can occur hours later. Hand the used injector to the ambulance crew.

Airway, breathing, circulation, skin

Swelling, wheeze, collapse, hives, minutes after exposure.

Adrenaline first, outer thigh

300 mcg adult, 150 mcg child. Hold as the device says. Second dose after 5 minutes if needed.

Flat, legs raised, never stand

Sit up only for breathing difficulty. Ambulance to hospital every time.

Our accredited First Aid Course covers anaphylaxis recognition and adrenaline auto injectors in detail, with a CPD certified certificate the moment you pass.
