Goldcross Training runs the FAW 3-day course frequently to meet the needs of its delegates.  We understand that many individuals cannot afford to take time off during the week and for this reason you will find this first aid at work three-day course runs both during the week and at weekends.

FAW courses are designed for workplaces that fall into a higher risk category such as: construction, engineering, manufacturing, chemicals, warehousing, etc and for any workplace where employees may be at risk of underlying health conditions i.e. diabetes, anaphylaxis, high blood pressure, heart problems, etc.
