Any one had any dealings with this company or can recomend the course ?

not had dealings myself but am very intrested in what they have to offer, our safety advisor has done this course and cant speak highly enough of it. he plans to retire and do assessments when he needs to for extra cash. the course he spoke of contained 4 quals first aide at work, instructors qual, assessors qual and PTLLS (Teaching in the life long learning sector) i am looking into this course as something else to offer a civie employer. how have you got on since posting this message?

My mate has done it and has his own training company now. They transfer you knowledge to Civvy quals and help you get going. I have had a few chats and will be going on a course soon.

Done it. Can't recommend it highly enough.

guys how much did you pay for this course?

I did the suite of courses back in March/April:

First Aid at Work Instructor (which also includes First Aid at Work)
PTTLS
CIEH Level 4 Health and Safety in the Workplace
Defib Instructor

All in it was £2182.80 with ELC covering £1746.24. I throughly enjoyed the courses, but the Health and Safety could be a bit daunting if you have never done any of it in depth before. I was lucky, I already had NEBOSH.
I haven't put any of it in practice as I have a year left, but I do get regular assessor request for courses being run, and these pay you £75 a time. NUCO also has its own shop for your trg aids and website to register your course when you run them.

I am on the course next week, with the PTTLLS part and now the defib instructor included it cost just under the £1000 mark.

There is no need for a FAAW instructors course, all you need to teach it is PTLLS and a first aid cert, yes it can be of help but there are other training qualifications which are more relevant.
Yes i do own a training company and teach first aid if asked but dont waste your money on what you dont need.

Hi Andy 2513,
I have been associated with Nuco since April 2000, and I'm now heavily involved in running the FAW Trainer/Assessors and PTLLS qualifications that you are interested in completing. If you require any further information on the open courses that Nuco Training is scheduled to run during 2012, or have any general enquiries in relation to FAW guidance or up to date training. Please do not hesitate to contact Steve Best (MD) or Darren Coombs (Training Manager) on 08456 444 999, or visit the link below:

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).

Hi Bumble squat

are there any additional qualifications or requirements needed to teach the 16 hour element to satisfy the NGB Awards ie Mountain Leader etc. I know that NUCO offer a 12 hour activity First aid but it falls short of the NGB requirements.

Also PTLLS doesnt seem to be recognised in Scotland unless you are working for an english based company. Are you aware of an equivalent qual?
