Meet the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 with a three day course (18 hours) that covers an extensive range of first aid emergencies, and how to deal with them. This course can also be personalized to the requirements of specific work environments. On successful completion of the course and final assessment, participants will be awarded a First Aid at Work certificate valid for 3 years although the HSE do recommend an annual refresher (See First aid awareness/refresher). To renew your qualification you can attend a 2 day (12 hour) refresher course before the three years is up. The course is assessed with a multiple-choice question paper and practical skills test with external assessors.
