The QNUK Level 3 Award for First Responders (RQF) is tailored for those looking to advance beyond basic first aid skills. It's particularly beneficial for personnel in security, construction, and industrial sectors who wish to upgrade their first aid qualifications.
While the First Responder (RQF) and First Aid at Work (FAAW) qualifications are both highly regarded, they serve different purposes and are suited for various environments and job roles.
Your decision between them should be based on your specific needs, career goals, and the situations in which you expect to apply your first aid knowledge. The First Aid at Work (FAAW) program, while accepted by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) is designed to provide essential first aid training for employees in environments that are considered to be low risk.
The FAAW course covers a wide range of first aid situations, preparing participants to respond quickly, safely, and effectively to emergencies in the workplace. It aligns with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, focusing on the requirements of the workplace.
On the other hand, the Level 3 First Responder (RQF) offers a more in-depth approach, aimed at those who need a higher level of training, such as event medical staff, emergency services personnel, or workers in high-risk fields.
This course equips learners with the competencies necessary to address a wide array of prehospital care emergencies, including maintaining airways, managing severe bleeding, and treating fractures and dislocations.
In a nutshell, if you're looking to master basic first aid skills for everyday emergencies in safer environments, then the FAAW could be the right choice for you, however, if your position requires a deeper understanding of prehospital care, or if you're likely to face more severe emergencies, then the Level 3 First Responder course is likely the better fit.
