Run HSE courses - Approval - just 100 pounds
Next Seminar - Spaces still available - City Inn Glasgow - Saturday 18th September
Last year's HSE changes had a large impact on First Aid Training Providers especially non-HSE approved providers.
The AoFA have addressed this issue and now many non-HSE approved training providers are able to run HSE courses under their own business name and without the HSE approval cost of nearly £1,700!
From last October only HSE approved training providers are able to run both the First Aid at Work and the one day Emergency First Aid at Work (similar/aka Appointed Persons) course.
There is an obvious benefit to offer both first aid courses, however If you only wish to run the EFAW course you could get approved by a QCA/QCF awarding body. Although both these methods are still expensive, there is a low cost alternative at just 100 pounds.
Association of First Aiders (AoFA). HSE Approval 'Franchise' Associate scheme.
Previous delegate comments:
"I find this will not only allow my company to continue training but with the
added support of the Association will enhance the company and the training we deliver."
"One of the most useful and informative seminars we have ever attended."
HSE or QCA approval will be difficult for a lot of existing training providers either due to costs or business structure. To assist these training providers, the AoFA have setup a 'Franchise' Associate scheme where HSE courses can be run under our HSE approval umbrella. This will not only save time and money but offer many additional benefits.
The following is a brief overview of the benefits of our Associate system:
- You will be able to run both the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and the First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification without having to be HSE or QCA/QCF approved.
- You will be able to run a full range of other courses from AED to Paediatric first aid under the AoFA Associate scheme.
- Your customer will view the AoFA as an endorsement of quality, not as the training provider.
- The AoFA will issue full Quality Assurance manuals, PowerPoint presentations, Course outlines, trainee materials and carry out monitoring and approval visits.
- The AoFA will assist in marketing and in the supply of professional marketing and presentation materials.
- You will be approved and monitored by the Association of First Aiders (AoFA) - the UK's largest and most progressive first aid association.
- All trainee certificates will clearly identify you as the training provider including your logo. This clear identification safeguards your client relationship; most third party certificates imply the issuing body as the training provider causing confusion in the eyes of your client resulting in the potential loss of your customer. The AoFA name and logo on certificates are viewed as a quality mark by your clients, not as the training provider.
- As a marketing advantage, all trainees can have free membership to the AoFA (worth £10)
Optional First Aid, Good Samaritan insurance can be issued to all trainees at a cost of just £6 per person.
- Full, online Training provider management system allowing online booking and monitoring.
Promotion on the First Aid Cafe web site, the UK's number one, independent first aid web site.
- National Client Scheme - We get YOU business!
- Certificate costs are typically £5 for one day courses and £10 for the FAW course.
- Accompanying full colour trainee books are available at £1.50 and £3 per trainee. Trainee packs, marketing materials are available at cost.
