Who is this course for?

This course is for those holding a First Aid at Work certificate that is nearing expiry or has expired in the last month. 

If your certificate has expired by more than a month, the HSE strongly recommend undertaking the full 3 day First Aid at Work course. If you do choose to attend this requalification course, you should be aware that this is an intensive course, with less time for practice and you will need to work at the pace of the course. 

If your certificate is not due to expire yet, you may benefit from our First Aid at Work (Annual Refresher) course

Timings

Our First Aid at Work (Requalification) course is 16 hours, excluding breaks, over a minimum of three days. This is a HSE requirement for this course. 

Courses usually assemble ready to begin at 9am and finish each day at 5pm with breaks throughout the day. Students must attend the whole course to be able to receive their certificate.
