🚨 REMINDER - Qualitative Face Fit “Train the Trainer"🚨

We still have spaces on our Qualitative Face Fit “Train the Trainer” course!

📅 Thursday 29th January 2026

📍 Limited availability – Book Now!

This course is designed for individuals who are responsible for conducting face fit testing in the workplace. The Qualitative Face Fit Testing method checks whether a tight-fitting facepiece (such as a disposable or half-mask respirator) correctly fits the wearer’s facial features to ensure an adequate seal.

The training provides attendees with the knowledge and practical skills required to carry out Qualitative Face Fit Testing correctly and confidently. Please note: While this course is often referred to as “Train the Trainer,” it does not qualify participants to train others to deliver face fit training—it is solely intended to certify individuals to perform the testing procedure themselves.

If you provide Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) or are responsible for Health & Safety in your organisation, ensuring RPE is fit-tested and fit-for-purpose is essential. Testing must be conducted accurately, with proper documentation, to comply with legal requirements and protect worker health.

This course is ideal for those who:

✔️ Provide RPE to employees
✔️ Work in Health & Safety roles
✔️ Need to carry out face fit testing

You’ll learn how to properly conduct Qualitative Face Fit Testing to ensure tight-fitting masks seal correctly – protecting your team and meeting legal requirements.

⚠️ 12,000 deaths a year are linked to past workplace exposures. Let’s do better.
(Source: Death certificate data + epidemiological estimates)

👉 Please note: This is a “Train the Trainer” course – It qualifies you to test, not to teach others.
