Becoming an HSE Approved
Centre without our Training System is
a time consuming and expensive excercise. You
would have to write your own program, training
materials and examinations (where required) and
then you would have to seek approval directly
from the HSE. We have heard that initial consultations
are around £1200.00 with additional fees
due if you don't receive approval straight away.
Because the Training System you will learn to
use is already HSE Approved it is much easier
and less expensive to achieve HSE approved status
than you may think. You will need to register
with EFR as an HSE Approved Centre the cost is
Approx £350.00 + vat (payable directly to
them). Back to Top
There are certain criteria to becoming HSE Approved
and EFR will assist you in ensuring that the criteria
are met. With all of our previous candidates this
process has taken no longer than a few week

quality instructor training materials
provided when you complete your course they follow
current emergency care guidelines and have gained
acceptance around the world. In addition the award
winning video features realistic lay-rescuer scenarios.

completed prior to starting your course either

First Aid is now a legal requirement in the Workplace
- your customerbase is huge and constantly evolving.
All businesses are required to undertake a risk
assessment and then provide adequate First Aid
provision for their workforce therefore your customers
may be from Florists to Chemical Manufacturers,
Schools, Sports Associations, Therapists etc etc.
Nannies and Childminders are also required by
law to undertake the Two Day Childminder Courses
that you will be qualified to teach.
You can charge as
much or as little as you want for your
courses. We recommend that you base this on your
costs and how much other companies are charging
in your area. Back to Top
If you undertake
to provide full HSE Workplace related
courses in house the cost to you would be no more
than £2800.00 to train 3 members of staff
and register as an HSE approved centre. With First
Aid Companies charging on average £220.00
per person for a four day course and £130.00
for a two day requalification you will have received
a return on your investment having trained 10-15
staff. Back to Top
If you only need Appointed person (one day courses)
and manual handling courses your outlay would
be £650.00 - you therefore only need to
train 10 people to get your investment back. The
employee that you choose to complete the Instructor
Training Course would not need to undertake any
further training in the future.
You also have to consider the amount of time
spent by your HR staff organising enough staff
to train at any one time to gain the discounts
for groups that some First Aid Companies offer.
Back to Top
There is a minimal
amount of paperwork involved in sending
off your course details for certification. This
is all dealt with thoroughly during the course
of your training.
You can order your Training Materials
and Certification cards directly from EFR, there
is no need to hold a large stock you can order
them as you need them, you only need to allow
two or three working days for them to arrive.
