Blended First Aid at Work Requalification & Paediatric First Aid 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 (or a FREC3 or above).

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

Day 1 is completed online 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 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 28 days grace period.

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