This version of the First Aid at Work for Equestrian Level 3 (VTQ) is for those who want to complete their requalification, 100% in the classroom.  We do offer a blended version where you complete one-day online with video e-learning and then complete just one day in the classroom locally.

The ProTrainings First Aid at Work for Equestrian Level 3 (VTQ) requalification course (FAW-F) is ideal for most businesses whose risk assessment has identified that they require a fully trained first aider for their workplace and it is required to requalify in first aid after 3 years. This course is available as a ProTrainings CPD certified qualification, all courses are delivered, evaluated and quality assured to meet the new guidelines set out by the HSE in October 2017 and meet the requirements of the First Aid at Work (First Aid) regulations 1981 and subsequent 2017 changes.

Also included to comply with the latest HSE and ERC guidelines, are Tourniquets and Haemostatic dressings. 

All our first aid courses fully meet the UK and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021 as per the HSE requirements. ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualifications (VTQ) are fully recognised by the HSE as Trade Body Qualifications.

This course is only for people who already hold a valid First Aid at Work certificate and they can take this 2-day course rather than the full 3-day FAW. You must have a copy of your original certificate.

Candidates completing our FAW-F courses receive access to our video library for refreshing skills and reference.

The ProTrainings First Aid at Work Qualification is accepted by TQUK as a qualification for first aid instructors who wish to offer their regulated qualifications. This is because it meets all of the required learning outcomes and due diligence.
