Hi Blacknasty,

We have been facilitating the PTLLS amongst other qualifications north of the border for several years now and, I've never been made aware of any trainers having difficulty in relation to the said award. That said I will contact the office tomorrow and pose the question. If you would rather do it yourself, you will need to speak to Rodney Best (General Manager) who has all the latest guidance on Ofqual and the SQA. Please see the link below:

First Aid Awards

In order to teach the First Aid element of the NGB award there are no additional quals needed. The level of competence that you will achieve during the course will meet the performance criteria needed to teach First Aid.

The First Aid qualification that is currently offered as you say is 16 GLH's, whilst the EFAW would not be suitable, the Activity FA could be extended to suit the needs of the learners. The FAW with 18 GLH's would be suitable and as such the KLP's do not defer from that of the 3 day (18 hr) FAW qualification. If you complete the Nuco Trainer/Assessor course you will be able to teach a variety of HSE/L2 courses.

In relation to the NGB Awards. Have you looked at the course syllabus for the Activity First Aid? Are you able to share the KLP's for the NGB Award so that we could maybe work together on this. I have looked at them this evening and they do not differ from the FAW. Question is I guess....... Would NGB allow you to teach the FA syllabus using Nuco material, something I guess you would need to ask them about. Happy to help though!

Regards.

Thats my course done, and if all the Nuco courses are run like mine, all I can say is, the best course I have attended in a long time. Enjoyed every part of it.

Hi Ex-Minden,

Thats exactly the kind of service and courses that you can expect from Nuco Training Limited.

Hi bumble squat,

im looking at doing the FAAW instructors course with defib and pttls in april, do i need any prerequisites before i go on the course, or can i just apply for a course and start it as i saw the pre course questionnaire asks for teaching quals and first aid quals or would being an NCO and Team Medic be enough to satisfy the criteria. Many thanks

Having served in the MOD and been regularly assessed on First Aid/BFAT (correct term?), is sufficient for the prerequisites....

Yes i do own a training company and teach first aid if asked but dont waste your money on what you dont need.

Completly agree with Oldviking - SAVE YOUR MONEY and just do PTLLS and ensure you have a current FAW cert!!!

Then you can either register yourself with the HSE as a FAW provider or do what I do and register with an awarding body.

I use Highfield ABC (HABC), http://www.highfieldabc.com/. They are a very good awarding body and always very helpful. You register your course with them as and when and it only cost £15 to register/certificate per delegates on the course & £7.80 for the 1 day EFAW course.


HABC also do other courses including, SIA security, Door Supervisor, Food Safety, Fire Safety Training, Personal Licence H&S and much more.

Well worth looking at their site!!

All the best on the new career

In relation to FAW Training in the private and public sector(s), there is clear guidance given by the HSE as to the minimum requirement. Information can be found on the HSE website and contained within the HSE's guidance on approved centres and trainers.
PTLLS and a current FAW certificate are part of the necessary qualifications that are required to teach the 3 day FAW certificate in the workplace, I must however enlighten you to the additional skill sets to teach the full EFAW/FAW. Please see the link below and in particular refer to Appendix 6 (table of qualifications).

As I said before and if registered with HABC, all the above is covered as per HSE guide lines.

Worth a look and give HABC a call on 01302 363277 or visit their site at www.highfieldabc.com/

This option will give you the ability to train other subjects as well as first aid.Such as PTLLS, Fire Safety, APLH and much more.

I have trained staff FAW & EFAW in various organisations such as a power station, schools, a well known cheese company, oil refinery and many other businesses.

It is your resettlement money, be wise how you spend it!!
