This course is new from October 2009 and is accredited by the HSE. The primary difference between this course and the traditional Appointed Person is that with this qualification a staff member is considered a first aider within the workplace. In order for an employer to decide whether his staff require an EFAW or a three day FAW qualification they must consider their staff numbers and risks according to their working environment - the HSE have some guidelines which can be seen here.

The training takes place over a full day which affords more time for the participants to practice their skills and develop their confidence. The lessons are highly practical and suitable for absolute beginners. There is no formal testing for this course as the qualification is provided to participants who have demonstrated their participation and competence to the instructor. All of our course include refreshments but lunch is available on certain course only - please check with us.

This course is held regularly for individuals to take part around the UK - see our dates page.
This course is also available for group bookings so organisations can train number of staff with minimum fuss - we can train at your venue or ours, please contact us for a quote and training options - contact us.
