The First Aid at Work ( FAW ) course is a three day course, it replaces the 3 day FAW course approved by the Health and Safety Executive ( HSE ). The HSE no longer offer approval for any First Aid courses. The First Aid at Work course is the ideal course for nominated First Aiders who require a comprehensive certified course. The First Aid at Work course is the most thorough of all our 1st Aid courses.
We can take up to 12 people on a course although often it is less. The certificate is valid for 3 years and can be renewed by completing the 2 day First Aid at Work Requalification course.
The First Aid at Work course can be taken at your own venue or workplace ensuring familiar surroundings and no wasted travelling time for staff. It also enables us to run the role play scenarios in the environment in which the First Aid would be used making the course highly relevant and appropriate.
By booking your First Aid at Work course through us you have the additional benefits of a free PDF Student Manual, free weekly video refresher emails and we'll even let you know when it's time to renew your qualification!
HSE recommend that all First Aiders refresh their skills annually.
