Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for those working in forestry, agriculture, land-based roles, or any outdoor environment where additional first aid considerations are required.

A first aid risk assessment may determine that this EFAW + F qualification is sufficient. However, some workplaces may still require the full First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification depending on risk levels.

Assessment

Candidates are assessed continuously throughout the day by the instructor to ensure all learning outcomes are met.

Successful learners will be awarded the FAIB-accredited EFAW + F qualification.
