Advanced First Aid Qualification for fitness managers and personal trainers working in higher risk environments.

Qualification Introductory Information

First aid qualification is required by all personal trainers. We hold courses every month. First aid training is a minefield of different types or qualifications, mainly due to different industries requiring different levels of qualification. The fitness industry requires personal trainers to hold the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification. Some self-employed trainers choose to take the 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW) as an additional level of qualification perhaps if they are taking clients outdoors for example. Employed trainers could also be required to be FAW qualified if the trainer in question has the additional responsibility as the nominated first aider in that particular workplace. The FAW is a 2-day refresher course and the EFAW is 1-day. Both the EFAW and FAW last for 3 years. Be sure to keep you first aid valid to ensure your fitness qualifications and public liability insurance remain valid.

Who is this qualification/course suitable for?

The FAW is the minimum first aid qualification required by a person who is an first aider who is leader of a fitness team or team of employees who might not be first aid trained or personal trainers working in higher risk environments.
