joker,
you do not have a clue do you, OFA run and certified by the DF are recognised in civvie street, there are a few members on this board that i have trained and certified that took their certs to their employers and they are recognised.
it may have something to do with the Health and Safety Athaurity registration, you know the people that actually gave the guidelines for SI 44 of the health and safety act, you know the people that instructors have to be registered with FFS,
keep safe.
PS : the university of limerick recognises DF OFA certification for their courses for PTI ect, and they are one of the higher seats of learning in the country.Last edited by jpb; 24 June 2005, 08:36.

The confusion probably arises from the fact that the INSTRUCTORS course is not recognised outside the DF while the Occupational First Aid course itself is.

The question begs,do the HSA recognise it? If not, litigation could follow...again.

The whole point of an occupational first aid course is that it's recognised by the Health and Safety Authority for occupational purposes. If it's not recognised then it shouldn't be known by that name.
The DF either need to get theselves registered properly as a recognised training establishment, or rename and reorient the course to something more appropriate.
How about something along the lines of the UK combat medical technician qualification?

In realtion to BamBam's question: The course is not held in any special location it is just held in a normal class room. Expect to gain a lot of knowledge...hopefully.

I'd Imagine an occupational first aid course is an occupational first aid course no matter where you go...

Dunno where its run, but if its run the way i run them you bring yourself, a sponge (ie your brain) and loose comfortable clothing (Chances are as its a DF course you will be in uniform anyway). Be prepared for plenty of hands on work *

* Please note thats the way I do the course the DF could be totally different....
