First Aid at Work ReQualification is run on demand — tell us when you'd like to attend and where, and we'll arrange a date and venue that works for you. Single delegates and group bookings both welcome.
The First Aid at Work certificate is valid for three years, and this 2-day requalification course is how current first aiders renew it. It compresses the full FAW syllabus into a revalidation format: skills are refreshed, updated for any changes in protocol, and re-assessed, and the renewed certificate runs for a further three years.
The two days revisit the whole first aider role: CPR and defibrillator use, choking, bleeding, shock and the recovery position, then the major illness and injury syllabus from heart attack and stroke to fractures and spinal injury. Because delegates arrive with a working base, the course moves faster than the original qualification and spends its time where skills fade: hands-on practice and scenario work, with continuous assessment throughout.
Timing matters: the HSE expects requalification before the certificate expires, and a lapsed certificate generally means retaking the full course, so book with margin. Between renewals, the annual online refresher keeps skills current, exactly as the HSE recommends. If your workplace only needs emergency-level cover, the 1-day EFAW course may be the better renewal route. Browse the cluster under first aid training.
