Course Costs & requirements

£210 per delegate: Minimum of 2 students and a maximum of 12 with a suitable room onsite which we would need to come and assess prior to booking. Alternatively an external facility would need to be hired at an extra charge, payable in advance. This is due to us being an onsite training provider.

Certification

The certificate is valid for 3 years and is included in the price per delegate. However, within this time you can attend a 2 day re-qualification as long as your certificate is no more than 3 months to expiry or 28 days past its expiry.

Please note: The HSE strongly recommend that all first aiders have an annual refresher to maintain the skills learned from the full FAAW course. This is a 3 hour course, which is low cost and helps your company prove that they are going above and beyond requirements. Please contact us for more information.
