There are two certificates recognised by the Health and safety executive.

The Full Statutory and the Appointed person. We run both at Aquatech.

An Appointed Person certificate is suitable for low risk working environments and is gained by attending a single days training (no exam required).

Course contents:

• Mouth-to-Mouth
• CPR
• Airway clearance
• Control of bleeding
• Management of unconscious casualties
• Minor injuries

This course can be tailored for specific groups e.g. water sport enthusiasts, people responsible for care of the elderly etc

The Full Statutory certificate suitable for every working environment and necessary for higher risk environments takes four days to complete with an assessment of the students skills at the end.

If a valid and current 'FAW' certificate is held a two-day re-validation course can be arranged.
