First Aid At Work Requalification

The First Aid At Work (FAW) certificate is valid for 3 years and before the expiry date first aiders will need to undertake a First Aid At Work Requalification course to obtain another 3 year certificate.

The requalification course is delivered over a minimum of 12 hours (2 days). Delegates will need to provide evidence of a current First Aid at work certificate before undertaking the course.

Although it is good practice to book your requalification before you current certificate expires there is a grace period of 30 days following expiry for you to requalify. However, after this date you will have to retake the full 3 day course in order to regain the First Aid At Work qualification.
