The FAW (First Aid at Work) qualification is chosen where the risk assessment of a business identifies the need. \u00a0It is a requirement of some jobs and an industry standard. The course is governed by the HSE and only approved centres can offer this course.<\/p>\n

The FAW course used to be held over 4 days but in October 2009 this changed to 3 days. The certificate is valid for 3 years and then you have to take a 2 day requalification course to renew. \u00a0Make sure you renew in time, as if you are too late you will have to do the 3 days again. To find an instructor see first aid junction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The HSE recommend that all FAW and the one day EFAW first aider complete an annual refresher course<\/a>. \u00a0This can be done online at our First Aid at Work Refresher<\/a> course site where you can complete the course at your pace and have access for 8 months. \u00a0You will on completion receive a certificate you can print off and a wallet card in the post.<\/p>\n

You will also receive weekly update emails to ensure you are kept fully up to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
