Frequently asked questions
Can't see your question? Call 01823 214134 or email info@apex-mr.co.uk.
Where are courses held?
Open courses run at our training centre at Unit 1 & 2 Heatherton Park Studios, Taunton, Somerset TA4 1EU. Group courses can also be delivered at your own venue.
How long do certificates last?
Most workplace first aid certificates (EFAW and FAW) are valid for three years, and the HSE strongly recommends an annual refresher in between. Each course page lists the validity for that qualification.
Is there pre-course learning?
Some qualifications, including FREC 3, FREC 4, FREUC 5 and SALM, have pre-learning. You'll find it in our Learner Resources.
Can you train our whole team?
Yes. Most courses can be run privately for your organisation. Get in touch with numbers and preferred dates and we'll send a quote.
