Can I run the new FAW and EFAW courses before 1 October 2009?
You can run the courses to pilot them in preparation for full implementation. However, they will not count for regulatory purposes. Only FAW and EFAW training courses run on or after 1 October 2009 will be approved for regulatory purposes. Prior to this date, if an employer wishes to train individuals as first aiders, they should be sent on a four day FAW course.
