For those who have completed the online portion and possess a qualifying FAW certificate that needs requalification, Level 3 (VTQ) Requalification blended portion 2. Most companies whose risk assessment has shown that they need a fully trained first aider for their workplace and who must requalify their certification should take the ProTrainings First Aid at Work Level 3 Requalification Qualification (FAW).

To comply with the HSE's new criteria established in October 2017 and the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981, all courses are delivered, assessed, and quality assured. The HSE recognizes ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) as Trade Body Qualifications.

All first aiders should take annual first aid refresher courses, as recommended by the HSE, and our online course meets this requirement.

It's worth noting that participants have the choice to pursue a controlled qualification while participating in a ProTrainings Training Course. As a qualification for first aid instructors who want to offer their regulated qualifications, TQUK accepts the ProTrainings First Aid at Work Qualification. Since it meets all of the necessary learning criteria and due diligence, it is considered acceptable.
