This Full First Aid at Work (FAW) course is a comprehensive level first aid course for training individuals to act as first aiders within the workplace, and is both First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) approved, and run to the current Resuscitation Council (UK) 2010 guidelines.
It is a 3 day (18 hour duration) course, designed to equip a person to take on the full role of workplace first aider with comprehensive skills as per Health & Safety recommended guidelines.
