The Emergency First Aid in Rugby Union (EFARU) course is the RFU’s specifically developed course that provides the recommended minimum level of first aid training for any appointed first aiders.

The course provides learners with a sound level of knowledge and understanding. It also covers topics specific to relevant rugby volunteers assisting at matches and training sessions.

The EFARU course has been developed by the RFU and is a nationally recognised Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course. It has extra rugby-specific elements designed for volunteers, coaches and match officials who are designated as a first-aider and are responsible for providing pitch-side cover at both training and matches.

The Emergency First aid in Rugby Union (EFARU) course provides learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding required to give care and manage life-threatening conditions, minor injuries and illness. It specifically focuses on injuries that occur in a rugby environment. Learners are able to assess an incident, recognise the signs and symptoms of injury and illness, and in a safe and effective manner assist a casualty who is suffering from injury or illness.

The EFARU sits on the Regulations Qualifications Framework (RQF) and is awarded by Qualsafe Qualifications, therefore the course provides learners with a nationally-recognised qualification transferable to the workplace, other sports or can be credited towards a larger qualification.
