How is the course assessed?
This FAW Training Course is a classroom course with around 20 contact hours over 3 days. You will learn a variety of practical skills and, as part of the course, our trainers will observe you during your practice sessions to ensure you meet the required standard. They will give you lots of feedback and guide and support you in the successful completion of this workplace first aid course.
At the end of the 3 days you will take a multiple-choice exam so will need a reasonable understanding of written English. We can support people who do not have English as their first language, but we need to be aware of this requirement in advance so that we can inform the Awarding Organisation that we will be putting some special arrangements in place.

- Certificates are valid for 3 years and the date is printed on your certificate.
- During this period, you are able to identify yourself as a First Aider when required and may have additional responsibilities in the workplace. If your certificate expires you will not be able to carry out those additional responsibilities or identify yourself as a First Aider until you complete a 2-day Requalification course*.

- 3 Day FAW = No, you do not have to repeat the 3 days again. You need to complete a 2-day requalification course within the expiry date on your certificate. AMTD will contact you before your expiry date to provide some dates of course on which you can complete the 2-day requalification.
