Face Fit Train the Tester

Training and Testing Services are a fit2fit accredited training company. RPE fit testing should be conducted by a competent person. To be competent the person should have adequate knowledge, and have received adequate instruction and training in the the 16 areas detailed in HSE INDG 479.

This is why our train the tester course is a 1 day course. It would not be possible to teach all of the 16 areas of competency that are required by the HSE in half a day and we want to train face fit testers to the highest possible standards.

We offer 2 different types of face fit train the tester courses, one course covers the Qualitative Face Fit Testing method and the other covers the Quantitative Face Fit Testing (APC method).

Training can be conducted on your site/premises anywhere in the UK for 1 – 8 trainees (Qualitative) or 1 – 4 trainees (Quantitative). Alternatively, we run open courses where you can book 1 or more places on a public course – see our upcoming events list. All our courses include an instructor pack.

If you need to answer the question where can I learn to be a face fit tester? or how to do face fit testing? then we can help. All our face fit train the tester courses can include a fit testing kit and certificate. We can come to you or you can come to us. If you would rather we came to conduct the face fit testing for you, visit the face fit testing page.
