If the assessment of First Aid needs highlights the need for qualified First Aiders, then this course will provide suitable trained personnel.

There is practical and theory based assessments and continuous evaluation throughout by the tutor. All those deemed to have reached the required standard will be issued with a recognised certificate in First Aid at Work which is valid for 3 years.

There is a need for this to be renewed by attending a 2 day refresher course before the 3 years have expired. Any delegate attending refresher training must have an in-date FAW Certificate to attend this course. If this has expired they will have to attend the initial FAW 3 day course.

The HSE (NI) has strongly recommended that those attending this course attend annual refresher training lasting 2-3 hours. This is not compulsory BUT IS RECOMMENDED by the HSENI. The initial First Aid at Work is over 3 days and re-qualification is over 2 days.

A maximum of 12 can be accommodated on this course and must be aged 16 and above
