Overview

COURSE INTRODUCTION

Alpha Safety provide Qualitative Face Fit Certification, however, if face fit testing is something that you wish to conduct internally, this course is designed to provide you with the competence and knowledge to be able to do just that. Long-term, this course provides large cost benefits for organisations where face-fit testing is a regular occurrence.

The training programme aims to equip students with the knowledge to conduct a face fit test with the use of a qualitative face fitting kit, in addition to key knowledge of respiratory hazards and control measures.

The course is delivered by our experienced tutors, all qualified under the British Safety Industry Federations's Fit2Fit RPE Fit Test Providers Accreditation Scheme. As such, tutors will also be able to provide extensive guidance on equipment; from FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 disposable masks, through to P1, P2 & P3 half masks. This ensures that you are protected, safe in the knowledge that operatives are equipped with the correct RPE.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
