It is a requirement of the Health & Safety law that employers provide a safe and healthy environment to work in.

​

In addition, this course will include any protocol changes that may have arisen since their last training course.

​

This course will give the participants a qualification to the highest level of First Aid, meeting the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Certification

This qualification lasts for 3 years. To renew the qualification, learners will need to sit the FAW Re-Qualification course. However, it is recommended that during the 3-year period, the learners attend annual refresher courses.

​

Assessment

Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment on each day. A three year Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Level 6 in Scotland) will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment. No external assessors are required.

 

Numbers

A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.
