Course Overview

Our Qualitative Face Fit Tester Course delivers a minimum of 6 hours of instruction and is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 8 delegates, providing training for those looking to be able to perform qualitative face fit testing for tight fitting RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) within their organisation for their own staff.

This course aims to provide delegates with the knowledge and skills required to conduct the fit testing, in compliance with the relevant legislation and HSE guidance found in HSG53 and INDG479. The course is delivered by a BSiF "Fit2Fit" accredited face fit tester and will help prepare the learners for a "Fit2Fit" assessment if they wish to demonstrate competence in this way.

Face Fit Testing kits are currently in stock and available. A Bitrex Testing kit is included in the course price of £370.00 + VAT.

If you do not wish to purchase a kit with this training course, please contact us on 0333 666 0555.

This course is suitable for those who manage the RPE in their workplace and have been assigned the responsibility for carrying out in house qualitative face fit testing on their employees/staff.

The course is delivered by a BSiF "Fit2Fit" accredited face fit tester and will also help prepare the learners for a BSiF "Fit2Fit" assessment if they wish to demonstrate competence in this way.

Successful delegates will receive e-certification accredited by Kentec Training valid for a period of 3 years from the date of the course.

At the end of the theory session, delegates will take a short multiple choice test. If delegates successfully pass the test, they will then move onto the practical assessment, where they will be required to conduct a qualitative face fit test on test subject under the supervision of the instructor.
