First Aid at Work (Re-qualification)

Cost

£100 pp

Location

Please refer to ‘Course Location and Dates’.

About the course

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.

Please consider the following rules for attendance:

• A First Aider can renew their First Aid at Work 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 First Aid at Work 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 First Aid at Work Requalification before they expire.
What to Expect:

This course runs over 2 consecutive days covering 12 hours.

Successful qualification on this course is based on practical assessments conducted throughout the course and written test papers each day.

Covers The Following:

A range of subjects are covered including:

  • Legalities, responsibilities and reporting
  • Heart attacks
  • Dealing with an unresponsive casualty
  • Eye injuries

About the course

If you have a defibrillator on site it is recommended that training is provided.  

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) is well established as the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest. The scientific evidence to support early defibrillation is overwhelming, the single most determinant of survival being the delay from collapse to delivery of the first shock. The chances of successful defibrillation decline at a rate of 7-10% with each minute. Basic life support may help to sustain a shockable rhythm but is not a definitive treatment. 

What to Expect:

Gain the confidence in what is a new and possibly somewhat daunting skill to use an AED device correctly and safely in any given emergency situation should it arise.

Covers The Following:
  • Basic life support 
  • AED Intro and theory  
  • AED Demonstration 
  • Practical AED Workshop 
  • AED & BLS Workshops 
Certification:

Certification would be an Aid Training certificate to confirm you have completed the course. Annual refresher is recommended.
