HSE Approved First Aid at Work Requalification
“I have been doing First Aid for 33 years and it was the best course I have been on.”
Course Aims
To update and requalify existing first aiders to the required level of skill and knowledge in first aid, in accordance with the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Suitable For
Any person who holds a current First Aid at Work certificate, which is nearing it's expiry date.
Course Length
2 days (12 contact hours)
Pre-requiste
Delegates must be in possession of a valid First Aid at Work certificate, which must be shown on course commencement. HSE rules state that a delegate must complete his or her requalification not earlier than three months before the current certificate expires and no later than the 28th day after it expires. If the delegate has to come earlier than three months, the new certificate will be dated from the course attended. If the delegates is unable to complete the requalification before the 28th day after expiry, he or she must attend an initial course.
Temporary physical impairment - In situations where employers inform
training providers that an employee attending an FAW / EFAW course has a
temporary physical impairment, it may be sensible to advise them to defer
training until the individual is fit. If this is not possible and the student
has a temporary physical impairment, affecting for example mobility, a training
provider can temporarily accommodate this during training. For example, a knee
injury may prevent CPR training as the person is unable to kneel on the floor,
so the training could be delivered at waist height. However, the final
assessment must still be conducted at floor level. If you have any queries do contact us for advice.
Certification
Successful delegates will be awarded a certificate of competence which is valid for three years and approved by the Health and Safety Executive.
