LEVEL 3/6 : 2-DAY TRAINING COURSE

First Aid at Work Re-qualification

This 2-day First Aid at Work course is designed for those who
currently hold a First Aid at Work qualification and are due to
expire and meets the requirements of the Health and Safety
(First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First Aid)
Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RULES FOR ATTENDANCE:

  • A First Aider can renew their FAW qualification by attending a
    2-day requalification course without question, if it’s within 1
    month past the expiry date
  • If the First Aider has lapsed by more than 1 month, but no longer
    than 3 months, then the First Aider can requalify by attending a
    2-day course providing ‘Special considerations’ have been applied

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE:

  • A signed letter from the employer to the provider of the training
    stating the reasons why in their opinion, the First Aider is
    suitably experienced to attend a 2-day course and does not
    require a full 3-day FAW course OR …
  • A decision is made by the provider of the training after
    discussions with the employer, or the First Aider, and deciding
    that their previous experience is sufficient to attend a 2-day
    course
  • If the First Aider has lapsed beyond 3 months then they must
    attend a full 3-day FAW course

The important thing to remember is that as soon as the certificate expires, the First Aider is no longer considered competent to act as a First Aider in the workplace which may well leave the employer with a shortfall of First Aiders. Therefore, it would be prudent to arrange their requalification before they expire.
