BLENDED FIRST AID AT WORK + FORESTY (FAW+F)

Our Blended First Aid at Work + Forestry (FAW+F) course combines flexible online learning with practical, instructor-led training to deliver a comprehensive first aid qualification tailored for higher-risk and remote environments.

This extended blended course allows learners to complete essential theory modules online before attending a face-to-face practical session, where both standard workplace skills and forestry-specific scenarios are assessed.

Ideal for forestry, land-based, and outdoor organisations, this approach reduces time away from work while maintaining high training standards and ensuring learners are fully prepared for real-world emergencies.
