PMSCS Training
Attendance is not competence.
Every course is built around a clear standard and an honest assessment. Learners leave able to do the job, and employers keep records that show it.
Small groups. Real scenarios.
Honest assessment.
Specialist programme
Competence in Workplace Drugs and Alcohol Testing
For organisations that test their own workforce. Testers are trained, assessed separately on alcohol and drug testing, and only then put forward for authorisation by the employer.
Regulated qualifications
Recognised nationally. Checked independently.
The HSE no longer approves first aid training providers, so employers must check that the training they buy is sound. A regulated qualification gives you that assurance, because independent bodies stand behind every regulated certificate your learners receive.
The government regulator for qualifications in England. It regulates the awarding organisation and its standards.
The Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation that sets the qualification, quality-assures delivery and awards the certificate.
An FAA approved centre that registers learners and issues certificates. PMSCS delivers its regulated courses through NUCO.
Delivers and assesses the course at your premises or a venue you choose, to the FAA standard, with records you can show an auditor or the HSE.
The instructor behind the certificate
Qualified, re-qualified and checked
- 1
Qualified to teach
Philip completed the NUCO first aid instructor course required before anyone can deliver a regulated course, gaining the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET) as part of it.
- 2
Re-qualified every three years
Instructor status is renewed with NUCO every three years, so teaching stays in line with current guidance.
- 3
Peer-checked in between
Between re-qualifications, Philip's delivery and assessment are observed and checked by another qualified internal quality assurer.
- 4
Trusted to check others
Philip is himself an internal quality assurer, observing and quality-assuring other first aid instructors.
Regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Scottish versions sit on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).
