First Aid at Work Requalification

Max Persons: 12
Duration: 2 days (12 hours)

First Aid at Work Requalification Level 3 Course Summary

This First Aid at Work Requalification syllabus covers the same topics as those in the initial First Aid at Work course. However, the first aid refresher training and assessment face-to-face contact is only 12 hours (2 days). This course complies with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 (Appendix 5 Content of a first aid at work (FAW) course).

Notes regarding requalification

The FAW requalification course lasts two days and should cover the same content as the initial FAW course (Appendix 5). If the first-aider does not retrain or requalify before the expiry date on their current certificate they are no longer considered competent to act as a first-aider in the workplace. They can requalify at any time after the expiry date by undertaking the two-day requalification course. However, it may be prudent to complete the three-day FAW course, especially where a considerable period – i.e. in excess of one month – has elapsed since the FAW certificate expired. It is for the employer to decide the most appropriate training course to requalify the first-aider.

**NEW** This course is also available as a Blended First Aid at Work Requalification. The blended First Aid at Work Requalification course allows learners to achieve the qualification by completing an eLearning course before attending only 1-day face-to-face training instead of the standard 2-days. The eLearning can be done at the learner's own pace and can be completed in more than 1 sitting. The eLearning is designed to take 6-hours; however, this time differs depending on the learner's IT skills and prior knowledge of the subject. For further information, visit the Blended First Aid at Work page here.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for making the arrangements in regards to the First Aid Course last week. The course was super and went very well. The instructor was a great help and his style of instruction was excellent and enjoyed by all.

Having never taken a first aid course, it really helped me learn about helping someone whether a family member or a stranger. I now know what to do and how to deal with a potential life threatening situation. I thought Brian was fantastic.

Thank you so much for he First Aid course that Sarah ran for us last Wednesday and the Wednesday before. We all really enjoyed ourselves and Sarah was a great "teacher" making the course really informative and useful but not threatening at the same time ! We have all been on courses where you are frightened to get anything wrong but everyone had nothing but praise for Sarah. Please pass on our thanks to her.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Dan Pedley. We are all in agreement that Dan Pedley's excellent training & fantastic lessons will not be forgotten. In fact, we are all in agreement that we did not want it to end. We have all learned more today than what has ever been taught before on previous first aid courses. So, thank you First Response First Aid, but more importantly thank you Dan Pedley for your supreme, first class training. Keep up the awesome work! August 2018
