What’s the difference between FAW and EFAW courses?
While both of these courses give security professionals life-saving knowledge, a First Aid at Work (FAW) course is more in-depth than an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course. As such, FAW courses let you work in security in more locations.
However, an EFAW course can be completed in just one day, compared to the three days required to complete an FAW course. EFAW courses are great for when businesses need a security professional fast, at low-risk workplaces – but an FAW course prepares you to work in a huge range of industries.
Low-risk premises are places such as shops, offices and public venues, whereas high-risk premises (as covered by the training in an FAW course) include factories, warehouses, industrial sites and chemical facilities.
Security professionals with FAW qualifications are more attractive to more employers, in more industries. Because businesses are advised by the government to have at least one first aider per 50 people, your FAW qualification makes you an attractive hire to employers.
