First Aid at Work (FAW) is a three-day course that trains a full workplace first aider, with the knowledge and skills to manage an accident or illness in the workplace. KeyOstas delivers it in-company, and it is accredited through the First Aid Industry Body (FAIB) with a certificate valid for three years.
