Attending First Aid at Work, Sports First Aid, or Advanced First Aid courses
We now have a new system in place for members wishing to take a First Aid at
Work, Sports First Aid, or Advanced First Aid course:
(i) To reserve a place, you need to send arrange a time to call in to our
office with a deposit cheque for £200 and your cheque guarantee card.
With effect from January 2005, it is our policy to require to
accept "guaranteed" cheques only, so please do not post your cheque to our
office.
Deposit cheques should be made payable to "OUFAU" and
post-dated to six months after the course finishes.
(ii) Upon receipt of your cheque, we will confirm
by email that a place has been reserved and joining instructions together
with pre-course reading will be forwarded in due course.
(iii) Deposit cheques will be encashed in the event of:
(a) non-attendance,
(b) failure to
provide any event cover for OUFAU within three months of completion of the
course, or
(c) failure to
provide the requisite amount of event cover for OUFAU within 12 months of completion of the
course (50 hours for FAW / SFA, 100 hours for AFA).
(iv) Only one set of outstanding duty hours at a time is permitted (ie: if you
have previously attended an FAW course then you cannot attend an SFA or AFA course
until you have completed the requisite duty hours for your FAW certificate etc).
Please note that we now require a satisfactory Disclosure from
members before we can allow them to provide event cover. The current
information we have from the Criminal Records Bureau is that it is currently
taking approximately four weeks to process Disclosure applications, but we have
no control over this timescale.
Members may wish to obtain a Disclosure before committing themselves to
providing event cover for OUFAU.
