 About our FAW course 

The First Aid at Work qualification provides learners with a comprehensive set of practical skills required by first aiders in high-risk workplaces in line with HSE guidelines. It meets the standards required to comply with Health and Safety and gives you the ability and knowledge to deal with first aid emergencies.

You never know when you might need to give first aid, whether in the workplace or in public. If you have first aid training, this can be the difference that helps to save someone’s life.

For Close Protection Operatives, the First Aid at Work training qualification is mandatory in order to begin SIA security training. First Aid training must be completed before starting your chosen SIA training course.

If you are hoping to complete this course as part of your SIA training, visit your chosen security course page and choose a package that includes First Aid training.

More FAQs

The Security Industry Authority (SIA) is the UK regulator for the private security industry. All of the Security Kings SIA training courses are accredited through level 2 or level 3 qualifications to meet the SIA standard, allowing you to apply for your SIA badge on completion of the course.

The security top up training is just for individuals with a valid security licence who need to be brought up to date with the new requirements as of October 2021. Individuals who have completed their training after October 2021 will not need to take the top up course.

The training is mandatory in order to carry one working within the security industry.

Applicants must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Pass an ID check
  • Be eligible to work in the UK
  • Hold a valid First Aid qualification
  • Complete SIA approved training
  • Undergo a criminal records check

(Having a criminal record will not necessarily mean you will be refused a licence. Check if you are eligible with the SIA criminal record indicator)

It became a legal requirement in April 2021 to have an Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification prior to completing your Security Guard or Door Supervisor SIA training. It also became a legal requirement for Close Protection operatives to have a First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification before completing their SIA training.

You can add the relevant First Aid qualification to your Security Kings training package when you book your course.

You don’t need to add this qualification to your package if you already have the relevant valid qualification. This needs to be from a course you attended in person. (Online course certificates do not comply)

If you already have a First Aid certificate, it must have at least 1 year remaining from your course start date.

The courses are typically made up of practical assessments and multiple choice examinations, of which you must get at least 70% on each to pass. There are 40 questions in each test, so this means you must get 28 or more correct.

Results are available within 14 working days. You can then begin the process of officially applying for your licence with the SIA. You can do this without presenting your certificate as proof, providing you have the pass result of your exam.

To apply for an SIA licence, you need to complete an online application form with the SIA on the government website.

You will then need to visit a post office in person to have your ID documents checked, photocopied and notarised. Make sure to take your SIA application reference number and original copies of the required documents. You’ll also be required to submit a photograph for your licence and a signature, which will also appear printed on the card. Your post office will also collect the £190 licence application fee set by the SIA.

Generally, the SIA states they aim to process a minimum of 80% of applications within 25 working days, but it is not unusual for it to take around six weeks.
