First Aid at Work Re-qualification (fawR)

Course duration: 12 hours | 2 days (Blended Learning: 1 day e-learning, 1 day classroom) 

Cost: £160pp

Certification: Valid for three years 

 This 2-day First Aid at Work course is designed for those who currently hold a first aid at work qualification which is due to expire and meets the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982. 

The important thing to remember is that as soon as the certificate expires, the first aider is no longer considered competent to act as a first aider in the workplace which may well leave the employer with a shortfall of first aiders. Therefore, it would be prudent to arrange their  requalification before they expire. 

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RULES FOR ATTENDANCE:  

• A first aider can renew their FAW qualification by attending a 2-day requalification course without question, if it’s within 1 month past the expiry date. 

• If the first aider has lapsed by more than 1 month, but no longer than 3 months, then the first aider can requalify by attending a 2-day course if extenuating circumstances apply.

Certification

Summative practical assessment is ongoing by the instructor each day, along with a written assessment for unit 2. 

A three-year Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Level 6 in Scotland) will be issued to the learner, subject to successful assessment.
