First Aid At Work Refresher

In order to remain current a first aider must attend a first aid at work refresher course before the 3 year certification period has elapsed. The refresher course will ensure that the personnel attending are still competent in conducting first aid at work and are aware of any changes of practices or procedures.

Candidates are assessed throughout the 2 day course and are required to take a multiple choice question paper. At the end of the course a final practical assessment is carried out by independent assessors, which may cover any of the subjects taught throughout the course but will include resuscitation and unconsciousness.

Successful candidates will receive a Health and Safety Executive First Aid at Work Refresher Certificate which is valid for three years from the date of the final assessment.
