Q: What is combined first aid training?
A: Combined first aid training brings workplace and paediatric first aid together in one course. It allows learners to develop the skills needed to support adults, babies and children while completing the requirements for both courses.
Q: Which first aid courses can be combined?
A: GO! First Aid offers four FAIB-certified course combinations:
First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid (FAW + PFA).
First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid (FAW + EPFA).
Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EFAW + EPFA).
Paediatric First Aid and Emergency First Aid at Work (PFA + EFAW).
Q: Who is combined first aid training suitable for?
A: Combined training is suitable for people who may need to provide first aid to both adults and children. This can include staff in schools, nurseries, childcare settings, leisure centres, clubs and community organisations. The appropriate combination depends on your responsibilities and your setting’s first aid needs.
Q: How does combined first aid training work?
A: Topics shared by both courses are taught together, with additional learning and practical activities covering the differences between workplace and paediatric first aid. Learners must complete the relevant content and assessments for both courses.
Q: How long does a combined first aid course take?
A: The total learning time depends on the combination:
FAW + PFA: 22 hours.
FAW + EPFA: 18 hours.
EFAW + EPFA: 7 hours.
PFA + EFAW: 12 hours.
We will confirm the timetable and delivery format when arranging your training.
Q: What is the difference between the full and emergency course options?
A: Emergency courses focus on essential first aid skills for responding to emergencies. Full First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid courses cover a wider range of injuries and illnesses. Your choice should reflect your first aid needs assessment and any requirements specific to your workplace or childcare setting.
Q: Does combining courses mean any content is left out?
A: No. Combined training brings overlapping topics together while retaining the learning and assessment requirements of both courses. Learners still need to demonstrate the practical skills required for each part of their training.
Q: Will I receive certification for both courses?
A: Yes. Once you have successfully completed all required learning and assessments, you will receive FAIB certification covering both courses in your chosen combination.
Q: Can combined first aid training be delivered at our premises?
A: Yes. GO! First Aid provides combined training for groups at workplaces, schools, nurseries and other suitable venues across Manchester and Greater Manchester. You will need enough space for practical activities, including floor-based first aid practice.
Q: Can our team complete different course combinations?
A: Tell us which qualifications your team members need when enquiring. We can discuss whether their training can be delivered together and confirm the attendance, learning and assessment requirements for each learner.
Q: How do I choose the right combined first aid course?
A: Consider who your team may need to help, the risks in your setting and the level of workplace and paediatric training required. Contact GO! First Aid with your setting, group size and training requirements, and we will help you select a suitable combination and provide a quote.
