FTACC – First Aid, Trauma & Casualty Care
FTACC training in Thirsk and across Yorkshire: practical workplace first aid and trauma response, aligned with First Aid at Work learning outcomes.
COURSE OVERVIEW
FTACC FIRST AID & TRAUMA TRAINING IN YORKSHIRE
FTACC means First Aid, Trauma and Casualty Care. The ATACC Group developed FTACC for designated workplace first aiders, including those in medium- and higher-risk workplaces. It combines core First Aid at Work knowledge with a structured approach to recognising and responding to serious injury, including catastrophic bleeding.
Plant and Safety Training Yorkshire Ltd is based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Individuals and employers across Yorkshire and the North East can enquire about FTACC training, course dates and suitable arrangements for teams. We will confirm the exact delivery route, location, assessment and certificate before booking.
WHAT DOES FTACC TRAINING COVER?
The published ATACC Group FTACC specification is designed around practical, clinically informed first aid response. The areas commonly covered include:
- Incident scene safety, approaching casualties and summoning emergency assistance.
- Primary casualty assessment and monitoring changes in condition.
- Severe and catastrophic bleeding, including appropriate first-aid bleeding control.
- Unresponsive casualties, CPR, breathing difficulties and choking.
- Recognising and responding to medical emergencies such as stroke, seizures, asthma and anaphylaxis.
- Head and chest injuries, burns, poisoning, and communicating a clear handover to ambulance teams.
WHO IS FTACC SUITABLE FOR?
FTACC is aimed at designated first aiders and emergency responders in workplaces that need occupational first aid training. This can include construction, engineering, industrial workplaces, utilities and other Yorkshire employers whose first aid needs assessment identifies the requirement. It can also suit individuals seeking practical workplace first aid skills with a greater emphasis on trauma recognition.
FTACC COURSE DURATION, REQUALIFICATION & CERTIFICATION
The ATACC Group lists three days (18 hours) for the initial FTACC course and two days (12 hours) for the requalification route, with a three-year validity period for its published programme. FTACC maps to the standard First Aid at Work syllabus. The exact certificate and any regulated qualification route depend on the course and assessment being booked; please confirm this with us in advance.
If your workplace instead needs a one-day emergency first aid route, see FTACC-E training. For more trauma-specific responder training, consider BTACC or RTACC. You can also compare all four programmes.

Is FTACC equivalent to First Aid at Work?
