First Aid at Work Requal & Paediatric Course Tameside

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 First Aid at Work qualification.

FREE 12 hour Paediatric First Aid (Ofsted compliant) qualification is included with this course, as all the required topics/skills are covered.  The certificate we issue specifies both qualifications.

The online first aid learning is completed at your own pace.
Day 2 is completed in the classroom.
Note: 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 or 1 month after expiry.  Unused time is added to the new certificate so no time is lost by coming back early.

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

This first aid course complies with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

It covers all the most common serious illnesses and injuries that can occur in the work place. The skills learnt on this course can help save lives at work, home, and at play.
