​
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The qualification is available to learners aged 14 or over but a learner is unable to act as an Emergency First Aider in the workplace until they reach the age of 16.
Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands and you must be able to demonstrate your skills as in a real-life situation. An example of this would be to demonstrate CPR on a manikin at floor level.
It is recommended that you hold a minimum of Level 1 in literacy or equivalent to undertake this qualification.
CERTIFICATION
Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment for unit 2.
A three year Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment.
No external assessors are required.
You will be able to requalify by attending a shortened FAA Award in First Aid at Work requalification course if your current qualification is in date. The requalification course covers all learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the 3-day FAA Award in First Aid at Work but the contact hours are reduced to 12 hours over a minimum of 2 days.
You should attend this course before the expiry of your current qualification and must be aware that if your qualification expires you are no longer considered competent to act as a First Aider in the workplace. If preferred you can attend the full 3-day course again to requalify.
​
NUMBERS
A maximum of 12 students are allowed and must be a minimum of 14 years of age and a certificate can be offered to all, subject to assessment. A student cannot assume a responsibility in the workplace until they reach the age of 16, and then it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the student is suitable for that role. The certificate will expire as dated on the certificate, irrespective of age.
