Sometimes referred to as EFAW, this is a 6 hour, 1 day course and is designed for workplaces that fall into a low risk category. This course can also be used for staff required to be Emergency First Aiders or for those who wish to support a designated First Aider trained via the First Aid at Work course. By attending and successfully completing the first day of a FAW, a delegate can gain the EFAW qualification. This course will help you meet your regulatory requirements if your risk assessment indicates that First Aid training covering emergency protocols only, is sufficient for your workplace.
