Who needs a First Aid at Work course?

The FAW qualification is essential for:

  • Higher-risk workplaces identified through risk assessment
  • Businesses requiring fully qualified workplace first aiders
  • Companies with larger teams or complex working environments

If you’re unsure whether you need FAW or a lower-level course, we can advise based on your workplace risks.

Not sure if you need FAW or EFAW?

If your workplace is lower-risk or you only require basic first aid cover, you may be better suited to our Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Cornwall page.

The EFAW course is a 1-day qualification covering essential lifesaving skills, ideal for smaller teams and lower-risk environments.

If your risk assessment indicates higher risk or larger team requirements, the First Aid at Work (FAW) course provides more comprehensive training and certification.

Outdoor First Aid Course FAQs

Do I legally need First Aid at Work training for my business in Cornwall?
If your risk assessment identifies a higher-risk working environment—such as construction, engineering, or manufacturing—then yes, you are legally required to have fully trained First Aid at Work (FAW) personnel. This course ensures you meet HSE requirements while properly protecting your team.

What’s the difference between FAW and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)?
FAW is a more comprehensive 3-day course designed for higher-risk workplaces and larger teams. EFAW is a 1-day course suited to lower-risk environments. If your business involves hazardous tasks, machinery, or remote work, FAW is usually the correct level.

Can you deliver First Aid at Work training at our site in Cornwall?
Yes. We deliver onsite training across Cornwall, including Truro, Newquay, Falmouth, St Austell, and surrounding areas. This reduces downtime, keeps your team in a familiar environment, and allows training to be tailored to your specific workplace risks.

How many people can attend a course?
We can accommodate both small teams and larger group bookings. Courses are structured to maintain quality instruction and hands-on practice, while still being flexible enough to meet your operational needs.

Will my team actually feel confident after the training?
That’s the goal—and where we’re different. We focus heavily on scenario-based training and decision-making under pressure, not just theory. Your team will leave able to act, not hesitate.

What happens after the 3-year certification expires?
To remain compliant, your team will need to complete a refresher course before the certificate expires. We offer FAW requalification training to keep skills sharp and ensure your business stays covered without disruption.

Certification options

Some organisations require certification to be issued by an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation.

We offer both self-certified and Ofqual-regulated accredited courses. The course content and training remain the same; the primary difference is the certification body and associated third-party fees.

Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation certification is available at an additional fee per person.

The instructor to candidate ratio is typically 1:12, with some courses being restricted to 1:8 or even 1:6.
