Employers are legally required to ensure their first aiders are competent and maintain their skills throughout the three years in which their certificates are valid. This course gives qualified first aiders the opportunity to practise and update their skills at any time during the life of their qualification. The HSE strongly recommends that first aiders refresh their skills annually.

This course is for people holding a current First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work certificate.

Assessment will take the form of continuous observation.

The course does not renew first aid certificates or extend the validity period of certificates.
