Due to the nature and responsibility associated with first aid provision, and in line with current UK guidelines, the currency of the IFAS certificate for use as a first aid qualification will be limited to three years. To remain qualified and in date the holder must complete a further IFAS course within the final three months prior to expiry of the qualification.

It is recommended, and is considered to be best practice, that The FA Emergency Aid course is undertaken on an annual basis as a form of refresher training.

Should the course require any alternative dress, this will be detailed in the course joining instructions.

You should further be aware that if you are on a regular course of medication for any condition, you must have sufficient medication to cover you throughout the course. Although first aid cover is provided (where applicable) during courses, no doctor is available to replenish regular medication, nor is there any facility to deliver medical treatment for chronic (longstanding) medical conditions.

Please provide any relevant information regarding the above Medical Information during the application process.

If your application to enrol is successful candidates will be required to complete a Medical Form prior to commencing the course.

• Club Name
• Course Name & Dates
• Full Name
• FA Number (if known)
• Date of Birth

We will then verify this with your Academy/CoE Manager/Administrator before enrolling you on the course. Please ensure you have authorisation from the club before sending this email.
