New First Aid guidance now due on 1st October 2013
Date: 22 Feb 2013
HSE approval for First Aid training organisations will end on 1st October 2013. After that, It is up to First Aid training organisations to do one or all of 3 things:
- Offer Ofqual qualifications in First Aid
- Become a member of a trade body to maintain quality
- do nothing at all.
As we pride ourselves on the quality of our training, we will be doing the 1st two things on that list.
We are already a member of the Federation of First Aid Training Organisations (FOFATO) which demonstrates our commitment to quality First Aid training and service.
And we will also offer accredited OfQual qualifications in First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid should our customers require it.
