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. We do more than just show you how to use a test kit. 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.

Want us to come and do your face fit testing for you? Why not visit our face fit testing page for more information.

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 face fit testing kit (available to purchase at time of booking) and all training includes a face fit 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.

If you are looking for a train the trainer course, sadly this course does not exist. In order to be qualified to teach others to conduct face fit testing first of all you must attend a train the tester course like ours and be trained up by a qualified professional. Then you need to gain experience in face fit testing. It is only once you have gained the knowledge and experience that you would be able to train others to conduct face fit testing. By attending a train the tester course you will be able to conduct face fit testing on others.
