Introduction
Employers have to risk assess their workplace first aid requirements. The 3-day (18-hour) First Aid is at Work (FAW) qualification is one of the statutory qualifications for this purpose.
FAW training is delivered by organisations approved by the HSE for this purpose. MWS is a 3rd party Provider for ITC.(HSE approval number is 1670/96).
This 18-hour qualification is revalidated by completing a 2-day (12-hour) First Aid at Work Refresher qualification.
The content is prescribed by the HSE and all candidates must attend the full 12-hours contact time in order to fulfill the qualification 'license to practice' requirement.
As well as full attendance each candidate is continually assessed on each section of the programme and then has to complete a short exam monitored by an external examiner. This complies to current HSE regulations.
Candidates MUST supply their previous First Aid at Work qualification details before attending the course.Please note any candidates who book and or attend the course with an invalid certificate. Then NO STATUTORY CERTIFICATE CAN BE ISSUED.
The full FAW and Refresher FAW qualification have valid 3 year lifetimes. The Refresher FAW qualification may be completed up to 28 days past its expiry date.
Course programme
FAW requalification training attempts to cover the topics of the full FAW course in sufficient detail to ensure students are competent on completion.Examination of candidates technique by an external examiner takes place near the end of the course.
