Our courses are as practical as possible, so please wear comfortable clothes. At times, you will kneeling and laying on the floor. Please bring a notepad/pen, lunch and water bottle (there may not be shops/cafes nearby). Hot drinks will be provided.
On regulated courses (e.g. FAW/EFAW and PFA/EPFA) you must kneel to demonstrate ‘real-life’ CPR. If this is not possible, please get in touch to discuss the options. During practice, we can amend the task to support your learning.
Regulated courses (e.g. FAW/EFAW and PFA/EPFA) last for 3 years. Other courses do not have an expiry although ongoing training and refreshers are recommended.
If you hold the FAW, you can complete a 2-day requalification course to recertify. If your expiry date has already passed, then you must retake the original course. All other regulated course are recertified by retaking the original course. More information can be found on the specific course information sheets.
