First Aid at Work Requalification

This course is designed for those who currently hold a First Aid at Work qualification and are due to expire.

Who should attend?

A first aider can renew their FAW qualification by attending a 2-day requalification course without question, if it's within one 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 this 2-day course providing 'Special considerations' have been applied.

Special Considerations:

A signed letter from the employer to the provider of the training stating the reasons why in their opinion, the first aider is suitably experienced to attend a 2-day course and does not require a full 3-day FAW course or...A decision is made by the provider of the training after discussions with the employer, or the first aider, and deciding that their previous experience is sufficient to attend this 2-day course

If the First Aider has lapsed beyond 3 months then they must attend a full 3-day FAW course
