Welcome to the Federation of First Aid Training Organisations (FOFATO)

The Federation of First Aid Training Organisations (FOFATO) was incorporated in September 2007 by Ian Kershaw MBE (Former Head of the First Aid Approval and Monitoring Section within the Health and Safety Executive from 1996-2007). It was formed at the request of Health and Safety Executive approved First Aid Training Providers. 

Partnered with FAIB, FOFATO represents around 400 Training Providers across the whole of the United Kingdom as well as a number in Europe. 

FOFATO was formed originally to provide the advice and guidance to Training Provider and Trainers/Assessors.  It also provided credibility to Training Providers because FOFATO would conduct Due Diligence against a Training Provider.

Through our partnership with FAIB we offer a large variety of High Quality and Cost Effective First Aid and Health and Safety related Training courses anywhere in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe.

Employers can contact FOFATO to find a Reputable Training Provider in your area.

FOFATO also offer Quality First Aid Training products  at Very Competitive Prices both to Training Providers and Employers.

Additionally, FOFATO supplies competitively priced First Aid products and Training Books to Training Providers and Employers.

FOFATO Approved Products

FOFATO offers high-quality first aid products from the industry’s leading manufacturers, ensuring reliability and safety. Our range includes essential supplies, defibrillators, training equipment, and more, all at competitive prices.

Thank you, FOFATO! We’ve started using the training handbooks and think they’re fantastic – clear, easy to follow and perfectly paired with the PowerPoints to enhance our courses’ professionalism. The materials are now essential for our team. We truly appreciate their quality and practicality. – David Mayhew, Target First Aid Ltd
