Blended First Aid at Work (FAW)
Blended First Aid at Work (FAW)
First Aid at Work Training with Flexible Online Learning
Need the full 18-hour First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification, but would prefer to complete some of the theory online?
Our blended FAW course combines 6 hours of online learning with 12 hours of face-to-face training, giving you the flexibility to complete the knowledge-based part of the course in your own time before joining us for the practical training and assessments.
How the Course Works
You complete the 6-hour online module before attending the face-to-face session. The online course covers the full FAW syllabus and includes demonstrations of the practical skills you will need.
The 12-hour face-to-face session focuses on practising and developing those skills with a trainer, confirming your knowledge and completing the required practical assessments.
What You'll Cover
The course includes:
The role and responsibilities of a first aider
Assessing an emergency and getting help
CPR and AED
Choking and unresponsive casualties
Severe bleeding, wounds and shock
Anaphylaxis
Heart attack and stroke
Asthma, diabetes and epilepsy
Burns, scalds and eye injuries
Injuries to bones, muscles and joints
Suspected spinal and chest injuries
Poisoning
First aid equipment
Preventing cross infection
Recording and reporting incidents
Online Learning & Assessment
The online element takes approximately 6 hours to complete.
You'll work through the course in sections, with a short self-check after each one. You need to achieve 100% on each self-check before moving on.
At the end of the online module, there is a multiple-choice assessment with an 80% pass mark and up to three attempts.
Once completed, you'll download your online learning certificate. This must be shown to the trainer before attending the face-to-face training.
Qualification
Once you have successfully completed both the online theory and face-to-face practical training, you'll receive your First Aid at Work certificate, which is valid for 3 years.
