This course is suitable for anyone that needs the 3-day First Aid at work or is looking for the 2-day First Aid at Work requalification
First Aid at Work – 18 hours
This is the HSE compliant 18 hour First Aid at work qualification for higher risk and/or larger Businesses. You take 6 hours online training first, then attend the 2-day classroom course. The online part must be completed before the classroom part, so leave yourself enough time when Booking. Instructions for the online part will be sent when you Book.
First Aid at Work requalification – 12 hours
If you still have an in-date 3-day First Aid at work qualification (by the date of the course) the HSE allows you to take a reduced 2-day course. You do not need to complete an online part first. You DO need to provide evidence of an in date First Aid at Work qualification before the start of the course by emailing a PDF of your Certificate.
You may optionally add a 12 hour Ofsted / EYFS compliant Paediatric First Aid Certificate for an additional fee
