BFAS is required by allocated pitch-side First Aid staff at community clubs, full time professional Academy staff and Coach Educators.Īd hoc courses have been successfully delivered in schools recently and have significantly added value to the safeguarding and welfare protocols required by the education sector.

EFA is part of the coaching licence arrangement for all community coaches. The FA and more recently the RFL have successfully delivered Emergency First Aid (EFA-3hrs) and Basic First Aid for Sport (BFAS-6hrs) for over 20 years. AfPE, the Football Association (FA) and the Rugby Football League (RFL) are delighted to announce a partnership incorporating the pilot delivery of First Aid courses for PE and school staff in England and Wales.
