Why Join First Aid Council For Training?
Membership
Why join the First Aid Council for Training? A question that I am asked frequently. My reply is simple, Strength in numbers! Although the first aid training world is a very small one, you can at times feel very isolated; cut off from vital from information, seeking guidance or needing assistance. The First Aid Council for Training has been able to help members with business issues that have seemed quite daunting, whether this is providing an advocacy service to help a member deal with issues with the HSE, or helping a member who is retiring with the sale of their business.
We are a truly independent organisation working solely for the benefit of our membership. Your subs go directly into the association to help us bring member benefits that your business can access, saving you time and money. A list of those benefits can be found at further down this page.
Case study:
One of our members recently shared these savings with us:
Books bought directly from Qualsafe.com would have cost £1800. Using their 5% FACT discount they saved £90. Books brought directly from Highfield would have cost £300. Using their 10% FACFT discount they saved £30. And by being members they accessed insurance through our relationship with AOFA and saved a further 33% on £332 paying £225. They saved a total of £227. Their membership more than paying for itself!
These are genuine savings on products that they have to buy. It does not take into consideration savings on other benefits such as PFAA membership or purchases of the Survival handbook. Membership saving you money and giving you peace of mind.
