Blended First Aid at Work Requalification training course

This is a blended 2 day/12 hour first aid requalification course for people who hold the 3 day/18 hour First Aid at Work qualification.

Day 1 is completed online at your own pace and day 2 is completed in the classroom. The online first aid training should be completed before the classroom day.

IMPORTANT: Learners must have a valid First Aid at Work certificate that is within 3 months before expiry and 1 month after expiry.  Learners are requalified from the same date on the certificate +3 years so no time is gained or lost by coming back early or late.  If coming back after the expiry date the person is not a qualified first aider during the 30 days grace period.

The original course must have been at least 50% classroom training.  100% online first aid at work courses are not valid!

NOTE: this course now includes the Emergency Paediatric First Aid course syllabus. The certificate is valid for both qualifications.

This first aid course is compliant with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements as required under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

This was HSE Approved until the HSE deregulation of first aid occurred in October 2013. Now it is HSE Compliant and FAIB Level 3 equivalent.

The First Aid At Work (FAW) training course is also highly recommended for anyone with an interest in first aid or who find themselves caring for relatives.
