The FPOSI course, will be held at NERVA Training Rooms in Worcester from 09:00 – 17:00 hours daily.

This qualification develops the knowledge and skills required by those working in security services or high-risk environments who are required to hold an advanced First Aid qualification.  It will ensure that learners can provide suitable assistance for a range of medical conditions and trauma related injuries including developing an awareness of ballistic and blast injuries.

This qualification has been developed to meet the competency requirements of the Faculty of Pre-hospital Care – The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh at Level C.

This also meets the requirements for the Security Industry Authority (SIA) for Close Protection Officers. Furthermore, this qualification supports those who require more advanced First Aid skills. While the qualification has been developed for Close Protection Operatives working in the UK and abroad, the knowledge and skills it develops are also ideal for Cabin Crew, Industrial First Aiders and those working in remote areas.

The qualification supports a role in the workplace and will enable learners to progress to further learning in this sector.
