We offer 2 different types of fit2fit approved 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).
Qualitative Face Fit Testing method:
A qualitative face fit test is a simple taste test that can be used to test disposable or reusable half mask respirators only.
The qualitative face fit testing kits are relatively cheap (£135 + VAT) and can be bought from us at the time of booking.
Quantitative Face Fit Testing (APC method):
A quantitative face fit test can be used on all respirator types, full face, reusable half masks and disposables.
The test requires the use of an ambient particle counting device (TSI PortaCount) and these machines cost in the region of £6000 +VAT (we can supply these too).
The content of our course has been judged to include all aspects of the health and safety executive’s face fitting guidance and protocols and is delivered by a fit2fit accredited face fit tester.
Training can be conducted on your site/premises anywhere in the UK for 1 – 4 trainees.
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 a resource pack.
