This is the online FAW Requalification for Forestry part one, which means it will require a practical part two for you to be awarded the full certificate. Please make sure you make arrangements with a suitable instructor for the completion of part two first by locating a course on procourses. We recommend you ask the instructor for their discount code for you to receive a discount for the purchase of online part one.
This version of the FAW-F course is the online training part. Once you complete this, you will need to complete one day in the classroom locally with an instructor.
This course includes the latest CPR and Coronavirus recommendations.
The ProTrainings First Aid at Work Level 3 (VTQ) qualification (FAW) is ideal for most businesses whose risk assessment has identified that they require a fully trained first aider for their workplace. All courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to meet the new guidelines set out by the HSE in October 2013 and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981 and subsequent 2017 changes.
Also included to comply with the latest HSE and ERC guidelines, are Tourniquets and Haemostatic dressings.
All our first aid courses fully meet the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements. ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.
In May 2016 the HSE and Awarding Organisations announced that computer-based blended training is now allowed for all workplace first aid courses. You can now become a fully qualified First Aider in the workplace, with two days of classroom training after completing this online course. Reduce your training and travel costs by using our engaging, blended online video-based course. Learn at your pace, one to one with your instructor at a time that suits you.
This blended FAW course meets all of the requirements under the HSE and Awarding Organisations and is available as a ProTrainings or Regulated Qualification.
A modern approach to training backed up by years of experience providing online, blended and classroom courses. Clear, concise and engaging, when you choose ProTrainings you reduce the cost, not the quality of your training.
Candidates completing our FAW courses receive access to our video library for refreshing skills and reference
The HSE strongly recommend that all first aiders complete an annual first aid refresher course and our online course meets this requirement.
Please note that learners undertaking a ProTrainings Trainings Course have the option to choose to take a regulated qualification. The ProTrainings First Aid at Work Qualification is accepted by TQUK as a qualification for first aid instructors who wish to offer their regulated qualifications. This is because it meets all of the required learning outcomes and due diligence.
