Assessment and Certification
Given the practical nature of first aid, delegates will be assessed predominantly through practical, hands on, assessments, demonstrating the skills learned throughout the three day course. Upon successful completion delegates will receive a certificate, which is valid for three years.
If you/your delegates, have previously completed the full 3 day First Aid at Work course and the certification is in date or within 28 days after the expiry date you may wish to consider the 2 day requalification course.
Under the current guidelines it is ‘strongly recommended’ that first aid trained staff attend a half-day update every 12 months – before completing full re-qualification training at the three year point.
