Delivered over 2 days and achieved by successfully completing an examination and individual practical assessment. Each candidate receives a full colour book, Individual First Aid Kit and a Practice Kit. If booking an ‘In-House’ Course, it can be held on consecutive days, weeks or split to suite your business needs. Candidates Must produce a in-date valid First Aid at Work certificate to prove they have complete the course at an earlier stage (certificates will not be issued with out this)
Annual Update Training – ½ day
Latest legislation states although it is ‘Highly Recommend’ that candidates renew their qualification annually, it is not a legal requirement – however the law does state that it is an employers responsibility to ensure that First Aiders remain ‘Competent’ within their role as a First Aider. The question is: ‘if no retraining is done within the 3 years, how can someone be ‘competent” and therefore the employer is liable. A cost effect way is to re-train on an intensive ½ day course – why not have another course delivered in the afternoon session i.e. DeFib training and save money? Again achievement is by successfully competing an examination and individual practical assessment, resulting in a new certificate valid for another year.
